Overview
- South Africa sealed the three-match ODI series with a 32-run win over Australia at the Wanderers on Sunday after Temba Bavuma scored 103 and David Miller made 142.
- Bavuma and Miller rebuilt the innings from 93-3 with a 156-run fourth-wicket partnership to post 365-9, while Australia were bowled out for 333 in 49.5 overs.
- Australia's middle order again struggled against spin as Keshav Maharaj, Bjorn Fortuin and Aiden Markram shared five wickets and helped choke the chase.
- Nathan Ellis suffered a side strain that limited him to four overs and Pat Cummins remained unavailable, issues that reduce Australia's seam options and complicate selection choices.
- The result extends South Africa's recent dominance over Australia in bilateral ODIs and gives the Proteas momentum for World Cup preparations ahead of the final, dead-rubber in Potchefstroom on Wednesday.
