Kagiso Rabada removed Travis Head for 2 and Mitchell Marsh for 13, while George Linde dismissed Josh Inglis for a golden duck. Kwena Maphaka contributed with two fine catches in the deep before bowling Mitchell Owen for 2 to leave Australia five down.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"780\" data-end=\"1128\">Maxwell walked in with the innings already in trouble and struggled to find timing. Facing Senuran Muthusamy, the right-hander attempted a drive to a tossed-up delivery outside off but went too hard at it, losing shape and edging to George Linde, who completed an excellent catch. Maxwell managed just 1 run off 5 balls, adding to his lean patch.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1130\" data-end=\"1329\">At 75\/6, Tim David remained at the crease on 19 off 9 balls, but with half the batting lineup back in the pavilion, Australia\u2019s hopes of posting a competitive total rested heavily on his shoulders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Africa\u2019s dominance in the first T20I at Darwin continued as Glenn Maxwell\u2019s poor run with the bat extended, leaving\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":374,"featured_media":31781,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9006","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/374"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9006"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9006\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
