Watch South Africa vs Australia 2026 2nd Test: Live Streams
All the ways to watch the South Africa vs Australia 2026 2nd Test for free from anywhere, as the Proteas aim to avoid a series defeat in Port Elizabeth.
The second Test match between South Africa and Australia is scheduled to take place from October 18 to 22. South Africa must secure a victory at Cape Town's Newlands ground to stay in the series after losing the first Test by 214 runs in Durban. The Proteas have been on a 12-match unbeaten streak heading into the series. However, their performance in the first Test served as a wake-up call for coach Shukri Conrad, who called for more determination from his team.
Matthew Breetzke and uncapped Marques Ackerman are set to replace Tristan Stubbs and Kyle Verreynne in the lineup. Australia's head coach Andrew McDonald is expected to maintain the dominant performance from the first Test, where players Matt Renshaw and Josh Hazlewood delivered exceptional results. A win for Australia would secure a series win and their chances of whitewashing South Africa, which hasn't happened since 2005/06.
