Marcus Stoinis helped Australia complete a gripping five-wicket win over South Africa in its men's T20 World Cup opener, rescuing his side after they flirted with disaster in pursuit of a victory target of 119.
Josh Hazlewood extended his superb Indian Premier League form into the T20 World Cup, helping restrict the Proteas to 9-118.
The Proteas were left to lament a tough caught-and-bowled chance put down by Anrich Nortje in the penultimate over of the match, when Stoinis whacked the ball straight back at the paceman.
The right-armer had failed to play a single T20 international for more than four years after the previous World Cup in 2016, but exhibited trademark precision coupled with IPL lessons about the ideal awkward length in these conditions.
