00:00Set to go, game three, the decider in Cairns.
00:15That's about a length to start with, which is pretty standard for Hazelwood.
00:21Nick down, take it, good catch.
00:24Just showed it's in a little bit, Markram is on his way, an early one for Hazelwood.
00:30So the skipper goes for one, South Africa one for two.
00:36Goes for it, just over mid on.
00:39And that will be the first boundary for South Africa.
00:43Pretorius not holding back, likes it on the front foot.
00:48Didn't quite get it out of the middle of the bat, and it just gets over the fielder and to the boundary.
00:54So second boundary now for Pretorius.
00:56Ooh, gets out through the leg side.
01:01Rickleton gets out of the way.
01:04Quite get that out of the middle of the bat as well, but finds the fence.
01:08It's down the wicket and beautiful hit straight.
01:11That is probably the best shot so far tonight, I reckon.
01:16And it's another boundary for South Africa.
01:18Pretorius as well.
01:22That's that one fine.
01:24Inglis has got the chase.
01:26Gee, that's a decent chase for a keeper.
01:27And it just gets to the rope.
01:30So another boundary for South Africa.
01:33Pretorius now cruising along.
01:38Gets out of the middle of the bat.
01:39Nearly cleans up Rickleton.
01:41And that will be another boundary.
01:44Solid.
01:45Strike.
01:48Goal.
01:49Good catch.
01:50Aaron Hardy.
01:51That's a bonus.
01:53Just when you think Pretorius is just starting to get on top, he gets out.
01:58He's gone for 24, Pretorius.
02:00Two for 32.
02:03Goal.
02:04Nick, and just wide of Zampa.
02:06And a boundary.
02:10It's a short one.
02:12This could be the first one tonight.
02:14It's on the roof.
02:16Gazali Stadium.
02:20Straight up in the air.
02:22Is this close?
02:24Oh, Maxwell.
02:26If anyone could get to it, it would be that man there.
02:29Whether he's hurt himself or he's disappointed.
02:31Looks like he's hurt his shoulder here.
02:33Oh, that's up in the air.
02:37A chance should be taken.
02:39It is.
02:40Josh English does the work.
02:41Great work this from Adam Zampa.
02:43Hitting the right length and he gets his rewards.
02:48So 13 from 13.
02:50This is a good start for Australia.
02:52They have South Africa.
02:53Three for 49.
02:54Brevis.
02:57It's beautifully hit.
02:58Stood up on it.
03:00Crunches it behind.
03:01Point for four.
03:03Top edge.
03:06Has he got enough on it?
03:07He's gone for a brevis.
03:10And it's way over.
03:12Wow.
03:12Gia was high.
03:15Gets that.
03:17Wow.
03:18That is another one on the roof.
03:21Third one tonight over the rope.
03:23Second one on the roof.
03:26Straight.
03:27Has he got enough?
03:29Has he had?
03:32Yes.
03:33Oh, he's taken it.
03:34He's trying to jump the fence.
03:36Has he impaled?
03:38Wow.
03:39It's been 6-6.
03:41Oh.
03:42Again.
03:43That's three in a row.
03:44Don't fall over the fence.
03:45No one's running through the fence on that.
03:48That's out of the ground.
03:51Goes for that.
03:53Through the offside.
03:55Oh, it's just over.
03:58Oh.
03:58Well, Nathan Ellis.
04:00Well, he was way over the rope.
04:02That's his 50 up.
04:0322 deliveries.
04:06Delwild Brevis is putting on another show.
04:09Zampa back.
04:10Catch it.
04:11And reverse.
04:12And it's through the offside and another boundary.
04:15So South Africa on a roll.
04:17Stops 12 off 9.
04:19Reverse.
04:19Again, he gets his aerial.
04:22One bounce and into the rope.
04:25So starting to put the foot down here, South Africa.
04:31Gets hold of that short one.
04:33Man out.
04:34Take it.
04:35Great catch, Maxwell.
04:37Wow.
04:37Isn't that a game changer?
04:39Ellis went for the short one.
04:41And Maxwell, probably the best builder going around, takes a nice catch.
04:47Well, it's a big partnership broken.
04:48They needed it.
04:4953 out of 26.
04:50Brevis goes.
04:51South Africa 4 for 110.
04:54Deep mid on running to his right.
04:57Whip through the leg.
04:57Side.
04:58Just over the top and a boundary.
04:59Well, he's worked out well through the leg side.
05:05Picked out the fielder.
05:08Yeah.
05:09Gave himself some room.
05:11And Zampa targeted the stunts and gets his reward.
05:15That's good bowling.
05:17Not so clever batting from Stubs.
05:18Zampa's changing it up beautifully.
05:21The ball before was a slower, wider one.
05:23This one, full and straight and quicker.
05:25Stubs goes.
05:27He's just hit a bit of a hole there.
05:2825 for 23.
05:29It's 5 for 1.37.
05:31Flicked away through the leg side.
05:35And it carries.
05:36Good catch, Nathan Ellis.
05:39Bosch, I don't know.
05:40Didn't try to hit it over the top.
05:41Tried to place it.
05:43In the end, just picked out the fielder.
05:46Australia winning this final.
05:47Six overs.
05:4817 overs.
05:51Gone.
05:51Six for 1.38.
05:55For the Yorker.
05:56Oh, a misfielder.
05:58Another skipper.
05:59I don't even think he got a hand on it.
06:01Got it on the bottom of the bat.
06:05But he will find the gap and that will help.
06:09So, a handy boundary there for Van Aducen.
06:14Big Nick.
06:15Flies away and a boundary.
06:17Good one to start the over.
06:18It's the final over tonight.
06:24High on the bat.
06:25It should be taken.
06:26I think it's Hazelwood.
06:27Oh, just gets it.
06:29I'm sure if that was a quick or a short ball bouncer, but it worked.
06:35Three wickets for Nathan Ellis.
06:37That's what Osami goes.
06:39South Africa loses seventh.
06:40Full toss and away it goes.
06:45He'll be disappointed about Nathan Ellis.
06:48Pretty handy this for South Africa, though.
06:51Been dragged back after the wicket with Brevis.
06:54Maybe the ball got a bit softer as well.
06:55Not as easy to hit the boundaries, but I think they're probably 20 or 30 short of where they wanted to get to.
07:01But it's competitive, that sort of 172 region.
07:05Van Aducen not out third out from 26.
07:07They needed something in the power.
07:08Stubbs, Van Aducen.
07:10When Brevis got out, they needed someone to sort of power it a bit, didn't they, Kerry?
07:13They did indeed.
07:14He came in with a stroke at 128.
07:16It's a little low.
07:17But he busied away.
07:19The Australian bowlers were outstanding, particularly Hazelwood and Zampa.
07:24I thought they set the scene for a defendable total.
07:29All right, there you have it.
07:30Seven for 172, South Africa.
07:33So we are all set.
07:34Australia chasing 173 to win this one.
07:37And to win the series.
07:43Shot into the D.
07:45That'll get him going.
07:47That was just beautiful timing from Big Mitch.
07:49And he's away.
07:52Oh, that's gone.
07:53That is gone.
07:55Second one for Mitch Marsh.
07:57He can just tell straight away if that was out in the middle of the bat.
08:02Puckett now.
08:03First over.
08:05Bound trick.
08:06Marsh.
08:07Pitched up.
08:08Just a nice swing in the back.
08:13Gets that high in the back.
08:14Travis Head.
08:15And it just gets over mid-on and into the rope.
08:22Gets it away.
08:23Beats the field with a short fine leg and another boundary.
08:26Back to back.
08:29Flicked away.
08:31That is right in the wheelhouse for Mitch Marsh.
08:35Nearly on the roof.
08:37Third tonight.
08:41All right.
08:42Slow again.
08:43Through the gap.
08:44On the offside as well.
08:45And that'll be the 50 up with that boundary for Australia.
08:50And six overs completed with power play.
08:53With the Sami now.
08:56Left armour.
08:57Don't have to get on his leg.
08:58That's over.
09:00Catch.
09:00That is number four.
09:02What a catch.
09:04Take a bow.
09:05And a high five.
09:08Full toss.
09:10Don't think he got it.
09:11And it just gets over the rope.
09:14Well, that was a poor delivery.
09:16The first one was a half-tracker.
09:17And then he finished the last one.
09:19Full banger.
09:23That should be taken.
09:24And it is.
09:25Nenghedi.
09:26Well, what a great over that was for Markram.
09:28He put the pressure on.
09:29Three dot balls.
09:30A couple of singles.
09:31And he gets a wicket with the last ball of his second over.
09:34And finally.
09:35South Africa breaks this partnership.
09:37Australia lose their first one at 66.
09:40Travis had gone for 19.
09:44That's a beautiful time to place.
09:47Great time in there for Mitch.
09:52Balls in.
09:53Straight through.
09:54It looked like middle stump as well.
09:56What a comeback for Bosch.
09:58And Inglis on his way.
09:59First ball.
10:02That first ball again.
10:03Two for 71.
10:04The Aussies.
10:06Off the Sami now.
10:08Got to get it.
10:09And a boundary.
10:1150 for Mitch Marsh.
10:12It's been a while.
10:13Last time.
10:15February 2024 against the Kiwis.
10:17That's his tenth time he's reached 50 in T20s.
10:21Flicked away.
10:22And out.
10:25Vittorius on the fence.
10:27Picked him out beautifully, Mitch Marsh.
10:29He's been hitting it well all night.
10:30But Pucker picks up his first.
10:32Well, that's a big wicket for South Africa.
10:34And the third Australian wicket down at 83.
10:36We're in the 11th.
10:37Cam Green.
10:41In the gap.
10:43Strong.
10:45Powerful.
10:46First boundary for him tonight.
10:50Gone for that.
10:52And out.
10:54Wow.
10:54Bremis takes the catch.
10:56Bang, bang.
10:57And Pucker gets another one.
11:00Green's gone.
11:01For nine.
11:02It's four for 88.
11:03In the 11th.
11:07Oh, that's a bad delivery.
11:09Did well, Maxwell.
11:10It gets up on it.
11:11That's a gift.
11:13On the surface.
11:15Maxey.
11:15Reverse.
11:19Couple of bounces.
11:20Second boundary for him.
11:25Gosh.
11:26Gee, that's a good piece of time.
11:28He didn't try and hit that too hard either.
11:30He was pitched up.
11:31Gave himself some room.
11:32And just eased it over that offside field.
11:38Oh.
11:39Whip through the leg side.
11:41And gets enough on it.
11:42Thought he might have been in the game there, Bosch,
11:44with a wicket that just got through.
11:46It's a big inside edge from the big fella.
11:50That's short.
11:52Has he got enough?
11:55Oh.
11:55Just might be through the hands.
11:58It might have been after him to throw it back on the field
12:02even if he caught it.
12:03I think it was Bremis through the hands there.
12:05No?
12:06Stubbs.
12:06Stubbs.
12:08Catch.
12:09Taken.
12:10It's a leading edge.
12:11Straight back.
12:11It was a lucky one.
12:12But you've got to take it.
12:13And he did.
12:15Wow.
12:15That is big.
12:16Great move there from Mark Rimm, the skipper,
12:19to bring Robata back.
12:20South Africa in front.
12:22David gone for 17.
12:24We're in the 14th.
12:28Aaron Hardy.
12:29Chips out to mid on.
12:31Straight down his throat.
12:33Oh.
12:34That's a soft one for Aaron Hardy.
12:36He might have been trying to hit it a bit more square.
12:39But against Robata, he's just holed out in the deep.
12:43Lost a couple of quick ones.
12:46And in trouble.
12:47Six to one.
12:4722.
12:48Parker's got it back.
12:50Quickies.
12:51Oh.
12:52Oh.
12:52It's a lucky boundary for Maxwell.
12:55Don't take it though.
12:56Why not?
12:59Oh.
12:59Has he got it?
13:01I reckon he has.
13:02Yeah.
13:03That's what he wanted to do, Maxwell.
13:04There it is.
13:08Picks it up.
13:10The reverse.
13:11And into the rope.
13:13I've got the feeling he was just looking for that off-pace delivery
13:16that was going to come.
13:19Full toss.
13:20Was it over the top of the hip?
13:23Oh, definitely it's over the fence.
13:26Oh, it was a key.
13:28Over the top.
13:29Got enough on it.
13:31Races away.
13:32Oh.
13:35Might have been a miss, but it's a boundary.
13:38Bowls in.
13:39Exactly right.
13:40Spot on.
13:41That's what he's got to do.
13:43Didn't need to play that, Dorcious.
13:45Just need to get the strike back to Maxwell.
13:48Seven down.
13:50Nine balls to go.
13:51Ten runs to win.
13:53Game on.
13:53What's he got?
13:55Oh.
13:58Wow.
13:59There we turn it around.
14:00Could be right here, PJ.
14:02Cut it out.
14:02It's one more.
14:08Maxwell.
14:10Goes through it.
14:11Goes through it.
14:12Oh.
14:13First ball.
14:14One bounce.
14:15Oh, hell.
14:16Oh.
14:16Not sure.
14:17Need to check it.
14:19Was it two?
14:21Did he have his foot inside?
14:25I think it's gone for the Yorker.
14:26Maxwell's been good enough.
14:28Gets through.
14:30Boundary.
14:30Boundary this time.
14:32Four to win for Australia and Maxwell.
14:35Oh, he's going to reverse.
14:38There's a top edge net.
14:40Has he got enough on it?
14:41And he has.
14:41He does it.
14:44The big show brings it home for Australia.
14:47And they win this series 2-1.
14:50And what an effort from Maxwell.
14:5162-0.
14:53They get him over the line.
14:55Let's have a look at the cards now.
14:56The match summary.
14:58And it's the decider.
14:59It was 1-0 leading into this.
15:00Australia end up getting it.
15:02And over the line.
15:03Our Macca's match summary.
15:04South Africa, 173.
15:06Brevis was outstanding once again.
15:0753 from 26.
15:09They had to do some well.
15:10He was 38, not from 26.
15:11But it was the middle order that probably slowed them down a little bit, South Africa.
15:14In reply, though, I think the bowlers do a good job for South Africa.
15:18Bost with three.
15:19Rabada with two.
15:20And Pucker with two as well.
15:22They lost 6-56 Australia in that middle order.
15:25But in the end, it was the man, Glenn Maxwell.
15:2962-0 out from 36.
15:30He got Australia home by two wickets.
15:32And they win this series 2-1.
15:41And they win this series 2-1.
