The article, shortened and in plain language
Bavuma and Miller smash centuries in second ODI.
Australia sent their hosts in to bat and South Africa amassed 365 for nine in their 50 overs, before bowling the visitors out for 333 in 49.5 overs to win a high-scoring encounter. The Proteas continued their recent dominance over their rivals with a 19th ODI win in their last 25 meetings.
The visitors were again undone by spin in the middle of the innings after a fast start to their reply as South Africa took an unassailable 2-0 series lead. Australia were not helped by the continued absence of seamer Pat Cummins, and a side strain suffered by Nathan Ellis in the match that meant he bowled only four overs.
“It’s really disappointing,” the Australia captain Mitch Marsh said. “We came here determined to level the series at 1-1 and take it into the final game, but fair play to South Africa.”
Bavuma scored his 103 from 116 balls for his sixth ODI century while Miller was more explosive. Matthew Breetzke added 34 off 28 balls, with Duan Jansen ending on 27 not out.
In a carbon copy of Thursday’s 67-run win for South Africa in Durban, Australia made a lightning start to their reply. Marsh and Travis Head put on 130 in 17 overs for the first wicket, but the middle order tried and South Africa’s three spinners tightened the screw.
Keshav Maharaj, Bjorn Fortuin and Markram were all effective in their 10 overs.
