SAF 1ST

OUT! Bowled. Josh Hazlewood to Lungi Ngidi. Reverse Swing-In length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Steer, missed. South Africa have posted a solid total on the board, recovering well after a shaky start. Despite losing two early wickets, Matthew Breetzke and Tristan Stubbs steadied the ship with a composed and fluent partnership. Matthew Breetzke was the standout performer with a brilliant 88, and Stubbs provided valuable support with a well-crafted 74. Australia's bowlers maintained the pressure during the middle overs, with inconsistent lengths and broke the partnerships regularly. Adam Zampa was the pick of the bowlers for the Aussies, claiming three crucial wickets. Join us for the run chase in 30 minutes.

AUS 1ST

OUT! Caught (Sub). Lungi Ngidi to Adam Zampa. Back of a length, wide outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid on. South Africa seal the series with one game to go. The visitors were top-notch in all three departments in today's game. South Africa set the tone by winning the toss, choosing to bat, and posting a defendable total. Australia lost the top three in the mandatory power play, and then Cameron Green and Josh Inglis built a decent partnership. After Green was dismissed, Inglis continued to perform his role effectively with the bat but didn't get much support from other batters. Lungi Ngidi, the standout bowler for South Africa today, took five wickets and received the Player of the Match award.
