South Africa v Australia, World T20, Colombo

Australia to Bowl; Parnell, Doherty Play

Colombo: Australian skipper George Bailey won the toss and elected to field against South Africa.

Australia have made one change as Dan Christian made the way for Xavier Doherty. Wayne Parnell replaced Albie Morkel in South Africa's playing eleven.

On a high with an all-win record in the tournament so far, a rampaging Australia would look to beat a demoralised South Africa and seal a semifinal berth in their second Super Eights match.

Australia nine-wicket win over India must have done a world of good to their morale after topping Group B and they would start as favourites on Sunday.

South Africa, on the other hand, would have to regroup after they shockingly let slip the Super Eights game against Pakistan from a winning position.

Teams:

Australia: George Bailey (capt), David Warner, Shane Watson, Matthew Wade, Michael Hussey, Cameron White, Glenn Maxwell, Brad Hogg, Xavier Doherty, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins.

South Africa: AB de Villiers (capt), Hashim Amla, Farhaan Behardien, Johan Botha, JP Duminy, Jacques Kallis, Richard Levi, Morne Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Robin Peterson, Dale Steyn.
