Breetzke Ton Leads South Africa to 67-Run Win over Australia
Temba Bavuma and David Miller each hit centuries as South Africa’s spinners held Australia to 333 and sealed the series with a game left.
- On Sunday, South Africa defeated Australia by 32 runs in the second ODI in Johannesburg, clinching the three-match series 2-0 with a game to spare. Captain Temba Bavuma and David Miller anchored the Proteas to 365-9.
- Matthew Breetzke scored 112 off 106 balls to anchor South Africa's 297-8 total in Thursday's first ODI at Kingsmead, where the hosts recovered from 29-2 following a 107-run sixth-wicket partnership with Marco Jansen. South Africa won that match by 67 runs.
- Miller smashed a career-best 142 off 93 balls with 12 fours and nine sixes, while Bavuma added 103 from 116 balls. Their 156-run fourth-wicket partnership transformed South Africa's innings after an early top-order collapse.
- Despite opening stands of 90 in Durban and 130 in Johannesburg, Australia's middle order repeatedly faltered against South Africa's spin trio—Keshav Maharaj, Bjorn Fortuin, and Aiden Markram. The visitors were bowled out for 333 in the second match.
- Australia will seek a consolation win in Wednesday's final match in Potchefstroom, with the series serving as critical preparation for the 2027 Cricket World Cup hosted across South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. The tour allows the team to assess roster options before next year's tournament.
