driven away through the on side for the winning runs
Australia vs South Africa, 7th Match at Sydney, Jan 22 2002 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Australia won by 8 wickets (with 188 balls remaining)
Well a resounding win there for the Australians, taking maximum points by achieving the target well within 40 overs
That puts Australia into second spot on the points table, one point above South Africa
For South Africa, a match they would like to quickly forget, their third loss in a row and suddenly finding themselves on the bottom of the table
However with top and bottom separated by a mere four points, and five matches to go in the preliminary rounds of this competition there is still much to play for, for all three teams
Next match in the series is on Saturday in Adelaide, where Australia come up against New Zealand
