222 (49.0/50)
225/7 (40.2/50)
Australia beat South Africa by 3 wickets
That's it from this game. It ended up being a low scoring thriller. The second game will be played on Saturday. Until next then, goodbye and take care.
Player of the game, Marnus Labuschagne for an excellent knock.
Really can't blame the South African bowlers, they were a little erratic but bowled brilliantly. However, they just couldn't break the stand which mattered and the wicket easing out also did not help.
Chasing a small but tricky total on a tricky wicket, Australia were 7 down with around 100 needed. Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Lungi Ngidi were brilliant with the new ball as they ran through the top order. However, as the ball got old, the wicket got easier to bat and Ashton Agar and Marnus Labuschagne batted beautifully to take them over the line.
That's some innings from Marnus. Outstanding. He came in as a concussion substitute and has played brilliantly to take his side over the line. He got able support from Agar and the two have won the game for their side from a very difficult position.

Aiden Markram To Ashton Agar
FOUR! Ashton Agar finishes off in some style. Short of a length outside off, Ashton Agar smashes this wide of the extra-cover fielder for a boundary. Australia have won this from a losing position and it is Marnus Labuschagne who has played an innings of statement towards the selectors.
