South Africa chased down Australia's target by three wickets in the first T20I. Therefore it is a must win scenario for Steve Smith's side, who have lost five matches on the trot. An in-form South Africa will be a huge test given their solid run in this format and recent successes against India and England.

Toss: Australia won the toss and have elected to bowl first.
