New captain Mitchell Marsh led a powerful Australian batting performance and set up a crushing 111-run win in the first Twenty20 International against South Africa at Kingsmead on Wednesday. 

Marsh clubbed a T20 career-best 92 not out off 49 balls as Australia piled up 226 for six after being sent in. Opening batsman Reeza Hendricks hit 56 for South Africa, but the hosts were bowled out for 115. Debutant leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha took four for 31 after receiving a late call-up when Adam Zampa fell ill. “He’s a fantastic young talent,” said Marsh.
