MAN-OF-THE-MATCH

Australian leg-spinner, Cameron Boyce, received the best player award for figures of 2/15 in four overs.

07 Nov 2014

JP Duminy's batting (49 off 51 balls) and Wayne Parnell's bowling (2/17) were the only positives the South Africans can take from this game.

But it's all set up pretty nicely now for the third and final T20 to be played at Stadium Australia in Sydney on Sunday (10:35 SA time).

Australia now on 99, with Rabada bowling the 12th over. It's almost over...

07 Nov 2014

In case you're wondering about my earlier comment about Maxwell. He went to a very small primary school and was so good there that the coach forced him to bat left-handed so the other kids could compete against him!

07 Nov 2014

The 11th over is a wicket maiden from Parnell!

07 Nov 2014

Rabada back into the attack in the 10th over.

07 Nov 2014

With Australia on 78/1 after 8 overs, Parnell is back on in place of McLaren.

Australia require 24 runs to win off 72 balls.

07 Nov 2014

Finch sweeps Tahir and it goes for four, but thanks to some terrible fielding by Rabada on the boundary. He completely misses it! Things can't get any worse for South Africa today!

07 Nov 2014

Watson gets his first boundary when he cuts a short and wide delivery from McLaren.

07 Nov 2014

An expensive first over from Tahir as he concedes 10.

07 Nov 2014

Next ball, Finch pulls Tahir for another boundary. He is in a hurry to go out tonight...

07 Nov 2014

WICKET!

07 Nov 2014

Luckily for Parnell, the free hit is not punished for any runs.

07 Nov 2014

Too wide from Parnell and Dunk cuts hard at it and it goes for four.

And to add insult to injury, it's a massive no-ball from Parnell.

That means FREE HIT!

07 Nov 2014

With Australia 36/0 after 4 overs, Wayne Parnell is brought into the attack.

07 Nov 2014

Finch moves into double figures as he launches a Duminy full toss over midwicket for four.
