South Africa v Australia, 2013-14
Wisden's review of the third Twenty20 International, South Africa v Australia, 2013-14
15-Apr-2015
At Centurion, March 14, 2014 (floodlit). Australia won by six wickets. Toss: Australia.
On the ground where they had made such a devastating start to the Tests, Australia ended the most satisfying of tours with another convincing victory, though they did enjoy much the better of conditions. Bailey had no hesitation in bowling first, and the pace attack took advantage of useful movement in the air and off the pitch. The spin of Hogg and Maxwell then kept South Africa from regrouping in the later overs. Once again de Kock was the only home batsman to make a substantial contribution - and once again it soon became clear his efforts would not be enough. Finch and Watson prospered most before the end came with five overs unused.
Man of the Match: M. A. Starc. Man of the Series: Q. de Kock.
