Looking ahead to the last game - That is all from our coverage of this thrilling encounter! The action now moves to the third and final ODI of the series, which is scheduled to be played on 30th September at 11.30 am GMT. With the series already decided, South Africa will look for a clean sweep, while Australia will be desperate to play for pride. Thank you for joining us, and cheers for now!
Skipper of South Africa - Temba Bavuma says it was another all-round team performance. He says the batting group had to negotiate tricky conditions early on but managed to overcome the challenge and build a strong total, with David Miller's outstanding innings playing a key role. Bavuma also praises the bowlers, noting that Australia were expected to put them under pressure, but they knew a couple of wickets could push the visitors onto the back foot. Reflecting on his own innings, Bavuma says it was pleasing to contribute with the bat. He feels he had a better opportunity this time, coming in after the first ball, which allowed him to take his time, settle in and build partnerships before contributing to the team's total. Bavuma also highlights the value of having Aiden Markram as a third spin option. He says Markram's ability to turn the ball away from left-handers was particularly useful, while the conditions offered considerably more turn than they had expected. Bavuma adds that the other spinners also bowled well to help close out the victory.
Skipper of Australia - Mitchell Marsh says that it was a disappointing performance from the team, as they had a chance to drag the series to the last game by keeping it alive but they failed to do so, adding that in both games the middle order has faltered and it is a learning curve for the lads in those positions. Marsh reckons that Jack Edwards and Xavier Bartlett are good young guys and to put in a performance like that with both the bat and the ball leads them to a bright future ahead. Marsh closes by saying that he does not want to be whitewashed and will be looking forward to the last game and trying to win that.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - David Miller wins the award for his sensational knock of 142 off 93 balls. He says it was a great feeling to register his highest ODI score, with his previous best also coming against Australia. He says Australia's competitive nature and their ability to constantly challenge opponents bring out the best in players, adding that it was good to compete against a top side and contribute to a big team effort in a winning cause. Reflecting on the conditions and his partnership with Temba Bavuma, Miller says Bavuma was incredibly solid and played an outstanding knock. He explains that the surface offered some slow bounce, so the pair focused on rotating the strike and feeding each other with runs before gradually moving through the gears. Miller adds that the length of an ODI innings gave them plenty of time to build the partnership and take the game deep, making it particularly enjoyable to bat alongside Bavuma. Miller also speaks about having his mother's name on the back of his shirt as part of South Africa's Pink Day initiative. He says she has been through a lot over the last couple of years and describes it as a special initiative that allows the players to represent different people through the names on their shirts. Miller adds that it was particularly meaningful to represent his mother and everything she has been through, with the century and their victory making the occasion even more special
Time for the presentation party...
Openers fire but spinners seal the deal - Chasing a mountain of 366 runs, Australia came out of the blocks with all guns blazing. Skipper Mitchell Marsh led from the front with a rapid 84, while Travis Head played the perfect anchor before also departing for 84. Unfortunately for the visitors, the momentum stalled entirely once the opening partnership was broken. The middle and lower-middle order failed to capitalise on the dream start. Despite a late fight by Xavier Bartlett, who scored a half-century, South Africa's slower bowlers choked the run flow, as it became a case of spin to win for the home side, with the spinners picking up 5 wickets, along with Lizaad Williams and Marco Jansen combining for 5 scalps collectively, to restrict Australia to 32 runs short.
Edwards fights back amid the onslaught - Despite getting tonked for 365 runs, the Australian bowling unit saw a heroic individual effort from Jack Edwards, who claimed a stellar 5-wicket haul. He was well-supported by Josh Hazlewood, who picked up 3 wickets, and Xavier, who chipped in with a solitary scalp. While the rest of the bowling attack struggled to contain the Proteas' scoring rate on a batting-friendly surface, these crucial breakthroughs prevented the score from swelling even further, keeping a small window of hope alive for the visitors.
Centurions power massive first innings - The South African batting order stepped up to deliver a masterclass, posting a mammoth 365 runs on the board. The innings started on a shaky note as both openers departed early, leaving the team under pressure at 36/2. Temba Bavuma and David Miller joined hands to turn the tide completely in the home side's favour. The dynamic pair constructed a spectacular 156-run partnership for the fourth wicket, with both batters reaching well-deserved centuries. Miller anchored the back end with a blistering 142, while skipper Bavuma played a captain's knock of 103 to propel the total out of Australia's comfort zone.
Proteas seal the series in style - South Africa has clinched the One-Day International series with a game to spare, securing a comprehensive 32-run victory over Australia in the second ODI. After being asked to bat first, the hosts put on an absolute clinical performance to dismantle the visitors' bowling attack. By defending their massive total successfully, the Proteas have taken an unassailable lead in the series, giving the home crowd plenty to celebrate before the final match.

Lizaad Williams To Josh Hazlewood OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Done and dusted! Lizaad Williams wraps things up with one ball to spare. SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY 32 RUNS AND GO 2-0 UP IN THE SERIES! Williams goes fuller and attacks the middle and leg stump, with Josh Hazlewood backing away and looking to loft it down the ground. He fails to get the timing and skies it towards mid-off, where Aiden Markram takes a couple of steps back before completing a fine catch.

Lizaad Williams To Xavier Bartlett OUT!
OUT! LBW! Lizaad Williams removes Australia's last real hope! He nails the yorker on middle, tailing in sharply and turning it into a toe-crusher. Xavier Bartlett is late getting his bat down and the ball crashes straight into his boot. There is a huge appeal, but the umpire says no. Temba Bavuma opts for the review, and UltraEdge confirms there is no bat involved. Ball Tracking then returns two reds, showing the ball going on to hit leg stump. Bartlett looks absolutely distraught as the decision is overturned, and South Africa are now just one wicket away from victory.

It goes high towards long off, where Marco Jansen moves across to his left, gets into position and takes a safe catch. Green's difficult stay at the crease comes to an end.

Keshav Maharaj To Matt Renshaw OUT!
OUT! LBW! Once again, the fielding side strikes soon after the drinks break, and we have seen that pattern play out several times in cricket. Keshav Maharaj fires this in flatter and fuller around off, getting it to grip and turn sharply into Matt Renshaw. The batter steps across to defend but fails to pick the turn, with the ball beating the inside edge and thudding into the front pad. A huge appeal follows, and the finger goes up. Renshaw reviews immediately, but UltraEdge shows no bat involved and Ball Tracking returns three reds, confirming the ball would have crashed into middle stump. The on-field decision stands, and Renshaw has to depart. Australia are 241/5, still needing 125 runs from 82 balls.

Keshav Maharaj To Matt Renshaw
Plenty of turn! Floated, short and around off, turns in sharply. Matt Renshaw steps across to play at it but misses as the ball gets stuck between his legs.
Very, very late pullout from Matt Renshaw. It was after Keshav Maharaj delivered, and it hit the stumps as well. Renshaw apologizes.
DRINKS! Australia still need 125 runs in 84 balls, but Matt Renshaw and Cameron Green have stitched up a good stand, but they need to continue for at least a few more overs. The game is poised nicely, but South Africa will believe that they are just one or two wickets away from taking control, as the Aussie middle order has been shaky in recent times. The 8 overs remaining between Keshav Maharaj and Bjorn Fortuin will decide which way this game will go.

DRINKS! South Africa have finally managed to break the big opening stand, and will hope to build on it as they did in the first ODI. Australia have once again got the start in a big chase, but their middle order will need to avoid the mistakes they made in the previous game. It will be interesting to see how they handle the spinners this time around. Also, Cooper Connolly walks out to bat at number 3, and Lizaad Williams is back on the attack.
