Australia Wins First Test Against South Africa; Rabada's Return Anticipated
Australia secured a 214-run victory over South Africa in the first Test at Durban, led by Josh Hazlewood's six-wicket haul. Australia's pace attack, including Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, was pivotal, with Nathan Lyon as the spinner. Scott Boland may feature in upcoming matches due to favorable conditions. South Africa missed key pacer Kagiso Rabada, recently recovered from injury, whose strong record against Australia highlights his importance for the Proteas in the series ahead.
