Form Guide
Australia – W W W W L South Africa – L L W W W
Australia once again proved why it is among the most feared sides in the world. The thought of chasing a near 400 can break the confidence of even the best side in the world. And, South Africa at the moment must have forgotten the taste of success. Finally, David Warner (106 of 93 balls) showed why Australia needed him on the top. And then it was all about Labuschagne (124 of 99). Players should learn from Labuschagne how to make the most of an opportunity. Also, quickfire half-centuries from Head and Inglis made sure Australia sits at an almost safe total.
South Africa in the end was a hefty 123 short of the target. Quinton de Kock (45 off 30) and Temba Bavuma (46 off 40) started off well. But, couldn’t sustain under the target pressure. Even the efforts from Klaasen and Miller proved futile against the mountain of runs they had in front of them.
South Africa have to bounce back now to keep their hopes afloat in the series while Australia will look to seal the series right here right now.
