Australia opts to bowl in 2nd T20, Steyn back for SAfrica
JOHANNESBURG (AP) Australia won the toss and chose to bowl first in the second Twenty20 international on Sunday as South Africa welcomed back fast bowler Dale Steyn after two months out with injury.
Australia made four changes at the Wanderers after losing the series opener. Batsman Shane Watson, allrounder James Faulkner, and bowlers Josh Hazlewood and Ashton Agar come into the team. Usman Khawaja, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Andrew Tye and Adam Zampa make way for them as Australia continues to change things up as it looks for its best lineup ahead of the World Twenty20 in India.
Steyn makes his return for South Africa having not played since the first test against England in December because of a right shoulder injury. Farhaan Behardien also comes in for South Africa in the middle order.
