Australia reprised their commanding Wanderers performance and crushed a meek South African team by a comprehensive 97 runs to claim a 2-1 series win on Wednesday night.
Like in the first T20 in Johannesburg, Australia lost the toss, started fast, scored big and strangled the hapless hosts in the subsequent chase.They didn’t even get close. In fact, they were non-starters as they fell to 96 all out, the lowest team total at Newlands. It was embarrassing stuff.
From the fourth ball of the innings when Mitchell Starc repeated his Wanderers start by detonating Quinton de Kock’s middle-stump, South Africa couldn’t keep up with the run-rate. 6/1 became 23/2 when Faf du Plessis picked out Adam Zampa at third man. When they fell to Zampa, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Marsh respectively, SA slipped to 87/7 in 13.1 overs.
South Africa torture at the hands of Warner and Finch continued, with the former raising his 50 off 33 balls while the latter reached his in 27 balls.
