Delhi: South Africa won the historic series by defeating Australia by 84 runs in the second ODI played in McAi on Friday. Australian batsmen collapsed badly in front of fast bowler Lungi Angidi and Nandre Burger’s sharp bowling. With this defeat, Australia suffered defeat in the third consecutive ODI series and this is the third defeat in four series against South Africa on the home ground in the last 17 years.

Angidi took five wickets for 42 runs and stopped Australia chasing a target of 278 runs. Wicketkeeper Josh English’s 87 -run combative innings also could not win the team.

South Africa’s innings – Breetzke and Stabs Amazing

After winning the toss, South Africa scored 277 runs to bat first. Captain Temba Bavuma was rested due to workload management and Aden Markram took the captaincy in his place, but he was dismissed without opening an account in just four balls.

Australia made a brilliant start with the new ball, where Josh Hazlewood and Debuting Xavier Bartlet made their initial shocks. Despite this, Matthew Breetzke handled the team while playing an aggressive innings of 88 runs in 78 balls. Breetzke also equalized the world record of consecutive half -centuries (a score of 50+ in the first four ODIs of the career). At the same time, Triston Stabs scored 74 runs in 87 balls and brought the team to a strong position.
