  • 45.2

    FOUR! Lutho Sipamla to Marnus Labuschagne. Back of a length, outside off stump on the front foot pulling, well timed in the air under control past deep backward square leg for 4 runs.

  • 45.3

    SIX! Mitchell Marsh to Heinrich Klaasen. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs.
    That will do very nicely. Lifted over the leg side for a flat six which takes South Africa to the win and a nice little not out for Heinrich Klaasen. His partnership with Smuts was what took the game away from the Aussies while Kyle Verreynne also added a nice fifty. The Proteas have been dominant today but also in the series. A clean sweep for them as it finishes 3-0 and ends their summer in fine style.
    Not quite the performance Australia were looking for today and overall it has been their batting which has let them down with not enough runs being posted. Things to work on then as they head home and welcome New Zealand.

  • 45.2

    FOUR! Mitchell Marsh to Heinrich Klaasen. Length ball, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, well timed past deep cover for 4 runs. Crunched through the gap. Klaasen has decided he wants to get this game done now.
