SA 2-1 (1 over) vs Aus

Richard Levi and Hashim Amla will open the batting for South Africa, while Australia will have Xavier Doherty to bowl the first over.

Levi came undone against the left-arm spinners in the last edition of the IPL and no surprise that Australia have adopted that tactic right away.

The first ball is defended back to the bowler while he fails to read the second one which hits his pad.

He plays all over the third ball but misses and is bowled for a duck. Levi gave himself room and looked to play through the off-side but was beaten all ends up.

WICKET: R Levi b Doherty 0 (3b)

New batsman Jacques Kallis gets his team off the mark with a single and Amla does the same off the next ball.

A superb first over from Doherty as he takes a wicket, while giving away two runs.
