It should be mentioned that during South Africa’s tour of India in June of this year, Marco Jansen made his T20I debut. He bowled four overs and was bowled out for 38 runs after lbw-ing Shreyas Iyer, his first wicket. He has only played in one T20I to far. He has also participated in three ODIs and seven Tests for South Africa.
The speed attack for South Africa will continue to be led by Rabada and Nortje. However, Wayne Parnell is more likely to succeed in Perth. In his two overs against Zimbabwe, the left-arm fast bowler—the first Koplak player to be re-inducted into the South Africa ODI squad in 2021—only leaked six runs.
- The 4th seam option could be between Marco Jansen or Lungi Ngidi.
- Although Ngidi brings in his pace, he tends to be more expensive. Jansen has been very effective against India so far.
- Glenn Maxwell, Sikandar Raza, and Dhananjaya De Silva have all benefited from the Perth pitch.
