Cricket: Coulter-Nile, Tye Wickets As SAfrica Score 108

Andrew Tye and Nathan Coulter-Nile claimed two wickets each as Australia held South Africa to 108 for six in their rain-reduced Twenty20 international on the Gold Coast on Saturday.
The Proteas got away to a flyer with opener Quinton de Kock clubbing 22 off 16 balls with two sixes and skipper Faf du Plessis hitting 27 from 15 balls.
The South Africans raced to 42 inside the opening three overs before Coulter-Nile claimed the wicket of Reeza Hendricks for 19 caught in the deep by Ben McDermott.
Glenn Maxwell had de Kock stumped by wicketkeeper Alex Carey and two overs later du Plessis fell to a brilliant leaping catch over the boundary rope by Maxwell off Billy Stanlake.
That left South Africa at 84 for three, triggering a rash of late wickets for only 24 runs.
Heinrich Klaasen chipped in with 12 and David Miller hit 11, before he was the first of Tye's wicket double.
Tye bowled out his only two overs at the end of the innings to finish with two for 18 while Coulter-Mile captured two for 19.
The match was reduced to ten overs a side after heavy rain prevented a scheduled start.
South Africa went into the T20 match after a 2-1 ODI series win over Australia.
The T20 is the start of four matches for Australia over the next week with three internationals against India.
