Connolly to C Bosch
Dot ball. Cooper Connolly to Corbin Bosch. Stock length ball, outside off stump on the back foot driving, missed for no runs, fielded by Carey. That's it! The rain arrives and with no further play possible Australia take the win by 45 runs on the DLS Method, picking up a consolation win, but it's South Africa who win the series 2-1. Ryan Rickelton remained unbeaten on a well-made 71, with Corbin Bosch alongside him at the crease. But the loss of four wickets proved crucial, putting South Africa behind the DLS target before the rain brought an early end to the contest. For Australia, Xavier Bartlett and Adam Zampa picked up two wickets each and played a key role in restricting the hosts. Australia finish the series on a winning note, as attention now turns to the upcoming test series. Alex Carey is the Player of the Match, while Keshav Maharaj is Player of the Series for his performances in the first two games.
