SA beat AUS by 6 wickets | South Africa vs Australia, Highlights And Cricket Score 3rd ODI Match - Commentary

So 255 is the target for the hosts to inflict a whitewash on Australia. The Proteas will be happy with their effort and will back themselves to get over the line. Australia, on the other hand, head into the break with momentum and will look to end the tour with a win and save some blushes. Who will come out on top? Join us after the break to find out.

Marnus Labuschagne is caught down for a quick chat with Mark Nicholas. Labuschagne tells that he is a bit shaken right now. Feels that he was bit slow at the start but they spoke during the Drinks break and then he decided to carry on for as long as possible. On his maiden century celebration, Marnus says that he was not sure what he wanted to do after making to his crease with a dive to get to the milestone. Tells that his family is there in the crowd and he is really happy. On being a South African representing Australia, Marnus replies that he left the country really young and he is fully Australian now but he has a soft corner for South Africa too. Feels that the wicket is not easy to bat on and hopes that Zampa can take a few wickets with the ball as it is stopping on the surface a bit.

South Africa will be a bit annoyed but overall they will be happy. Why so? You ask, because they started off brilliantly and had put the Aussies on the mat. They kept picking up wickets at regular intervals and it looked like they would restrict the visitors under 230 but 53 runs from the last 5 overs meant that they ended up conceding more than 250. Nortje and Smuts were excellent with the ball and ended up with 2 wickets each. Daryn Dupavillon and Andile Phehlukwayo got one apiece. Maharaj did not get a wicket but was tidy. Overall they would have been happy to chase anything under 260 and that is what they will have to.

After being put into bat, Australia got off to a disastrous start losing the big three comprising of Warner, Smith and Finch early. Labuschagne and Short then gave the much-needed stability to the innings. Short though could not capitalize on the start, Labuschagne went from strength to strength and his superb 108 along with cameos from Marsh and Jhye took Australia to a supremely competitive total of 254 on a slowish pitch.

The new Australian messiah who has dominated Tests since the mid of 2019 has arrived in white ball cricket and announced himself in style. Take a bow Marnus Labuschagne! His excellent ton has helped Australia post a very good total on a pitch that is not easy to bat on.

Anrich Nortje to Kane Richardson. A bye to end the innings. Full and outside off, Kane swings hard but misses. Both the batters though show great presence of mind and cross over for a quick bye as de Kock's attempt to run the batsman down at his end does not work. Australia end with 254/7.

Kane Richardson is the next batsman in.

Anrich Nortje to Marnus Labuschagne. OUT! Timber! Labuschagne falls but what a knock from him. The crowd applauds the effort as he walks off.

An excellent knock comes to the end but not before he has taken his side towards a very good total.

He has played a superb knock and he has once again shown his grit and talent in a pitch which is not the easiest to bat on. Fairytale way to get his first ODI ton. He gets it in the country of his birth. He pumps both his fist and removes his helmet as everyone in the crowd gets on their feet and applaud the genius that is Marnus Labuschagne.

The batters have already taken off so de Kock collects the ball and whips the bails off to find Marsh short. No need to go for the third umpire there as Marsh is nowhere in the picture. Another threatening-looking stand has been broken.

The batters meanwhile take a brace. De Kock has a word with his bowler, the skipper is not too keen to take the review but Maharaj has his way and de Kock signals the 'T'. Replay rolls in and Ultra Edge shows that it came off the bat throughout. South Africa lose their sole review. Can't blame de Kock too much as it was the bowler's review.

Australia skipper, Aaron Finch says that there are three changes in his side. On Starc's exclusion, Finch says that he has been traveling with the side for a long time and deserved some off time and support his wife in the T20 World Cup final. Adds that he wanted to bowl first too but he isn't too disappointed. Tells that if they can see off the new ball, they have the chance of posting big total. Feels that they are going little too hard in the middle overs and they probably need to keep wickets in hand for the end. Finishes by saying that they want to go into the New Zealand series with confidence.

South Africa Playing XI - Quinton de Kock (C/WK), Janneman Malan, JJ Smuts, Kyle Verreynne, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Andile Phehlukwayo, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, Daryn Dupavillon (ODI DEBUT) (In for Lungi Ngidi), Lutho Sipamla (In for Tabraiz Shamsi).

South Africa skipper, Quinton de Kock says that it is a fresh wicket and there will be something on it in the morning and expects it to get better to bat later on. Informs Ngidi has been given a rest and Shamsi misses out for the birth of his baby. Sipamla and Dupavillon come in place for them with the latter making his debut. Tells they have done well in the series and is happy with their performance.

TOSS - It is time for the spin of the coin. South Africa win the toss and elect to field.

Hello and welcome to the final ODI between South Africa and Australia in Potchefstroom. The hosts would look for a whitewash. Jannemalan Malan played an exceptional innings in the last match. The hosts would expect a big innings from Quinton de Kock. On the other hand, Australia would look to improve their batting. They would want Labuschagne to fire. Stay tuned for the teams and the toss.
