Australia vs South Africa, 2nd Test: live streaming, when and where to watch, squads

Australia will face South Africa in the Boxing Day Test on Monday in Melbourne. While the Boxing Day Test is a famous event in and of itself, this one will be enhanced by the fact that the last encounter between these two sides was played in only two days. The pitch was too difficult for the bowlers, and the Proteas were defeated by six wickets. The hosts will want to win the series, while the South Africans will try to win in Melbourne and make the series decider the third and final match.

Australia’s batting lineup greatly outclasses South Africa’s, particularly with Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith both ravenous for runs! There is definitely more depth and quality here. Kyle Verreynne and Rassie van der DUssen are the only two batters who are capable of putting up a fight. With a spot in the World Test Championship on the line, the Proteas will be expected to give it their best after falling to third after India’s 2-0 triumph over Bangladesh.
