That's the game, and the series!! Well done, South Africa, and young Malan - that was some chase!Janneman Malan starred with his maiden ODI ton in just his second innings to lead South Africa to a six-wicket winand thus, give them the series after what has been a tough summer for them. He remained unbeaten on 129, with Miller on 37, with the pair unbeaten after a 90-run stand.

Australia started strong in their 272-run defence, but South Africa slowly and steadily turned things around led by Malan - who got a golden duck in the first ODI of the series on debut - who held his bat through the innings, controlling the record chase to perfection. Starc struck early, but Klaasen, Smuts and Miller chipped in with vital contributions to help complete the chase. Australia's lack of runs in the last 10 came to hurt them in the end as they fell short by at least 20-30. It was thanks to a six-wicket haul from Ngidi - who picked up his career-best figures of 6-58.Ngidi scalped Warner, Smith and Labuschagne upfront before another three towards the end. Finch, Short and Marsh staged fightbacks, but it wasn't enough in the end.

It was a clinical performance from South Africa, who deserved that win. The relief was apparent on their faces after that win. Thank you for your company today. Do join us - albeit a dead rubber - for the final ODI. Until then, goodnight.
