South Africa won the first T20 as David Miller hit his fitst Twenty20 International half-century. Batting first, Australia could manage 157 for nine in twenty overs. South Africa, in reply, chased down the target with three wickets and four balls in hand. David Miller (53 off 35) guided his side to a comfortable win over the visitors at his home-ground (Durban).

"Once again we won a game we probably shouldn't have won. But to win games like that makes me very happy. It shows a lot of character," South African skipper Faf du Plessis said.

Australia, who were beaten 3-0 by India in a recent T20 series at home, failed once again to end its losing streak in shortest format of Cricket. Former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes pointed out that the Aussies are struggling to get their bowling balance.

"They've been quite unlucky with Mitchell Starc going out of that side at such an important time. James Faulkner is also a very good death bowler and it's those later overs where the pressure came off South Africa a bit," Rhodes said.

The three-match series offers an opportunity to both side to fine tune their plans ahead of International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup 2016. The global T20 tournament, starting next week, will be played in India.

The probable squads:

South Africa- Faf du Plessis, Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock, AB de Villiers, David Miller, JP Duminy, Farhaan Behardien, Kyle Abbott, Dale Steyn, Kagiso Rabada, Imran Tahir, Rilee Rossouw, David Wiese, Chris Morris, Aaron Phangiso

Australia- Steve Smith, David Warner, Shane Watson, Peter Nevill, Mitchell Marsh, Andrew Tye, Josh Hazlewood, Ashton Agar, Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa, John Hastings, Usman Khawaja, James Faulkner, Nathan Coulter-Nile
