RSA VS AUS - 2nd ODI, Australia tour of South Africa, 2023

That's a wrap of the second game. Australia were ruthless from the get-go and won quite emphatically. They need one more win to pocket the ODI series. Can they do it on Tuesday at Potchefstroom? Do remember to join us for the third ODI. Until then, cheers and goodbye!!

Mitch Marsh | Australian skipper: Unbelievable. Great day for Australia. Credit to domestic cricket back home, the environment that these guys (Patty and Ron) create, to come out and play like this. Really positive thing for the future. Ellis is a great team man and gives his hundred percent every time he has the ball in hand. A bright prospect and lot of future ahead of him.Thought both batters (Warner and Labuschagne) were outstanding, our intent throughout and our execution was as good as it gets. I will start bowling in India and keep the reverse sweep away. We got a chance to win the series, this tour means a lot to us as a young squad. Hopefully we can do that over the next couple of games.

Marnus Labuschagne | Player of the Match: It's always nice to have a bit of added pressure, nice to be scoring some runs in front of friends and family. I still think I left a few runs out there. I could have opened up and got us around 430. Happy with how the whole team went about it, the opening stand put the pressure on South Africa straightaway. It's not in my control at all, if I go home I get to see my daughter and if I go to the World Cup, then I will be playing for my country. My job is to keep playing to the best of my ability.

Temba Bavuma | South African skipper: Quite obvious, we need to up our game. They came with a positive intent with the bat. We did put a focus on putting in a better effort in the first 20 overs with the ball, we didn't obviously tick that box, couldn't really bring the game back in our favour. Need to put this behind quickly, need to take feedback on the areas we need to improve on. Got a couple of days to improve and come back strong in the next game to keep the series alive.

20:23 local, 18:23 GMT, 23:53 IST: As many as 4 batters from the top 6 got out in the 40s. Tells you everything you need to know about the chase. South Africa were 81/0 after 9 overs with de Kock nailing it to all corners. A slower ball from Ellis, however, put the brakes on the chase and unfortunately for the hosts, none of the batters hung around to convert starts into a big score. Zampa was brilliant with the ball and never looked afraid in tossing the ball above the eyeline of the batters. He finished with a 4-fer while Abbott, Ellis and debutant Hardie all picked up two apiece. This is the fifth successive white-ball win for Australia against South Africa in the span of 10 days. Presentations imminent, stick around...

Abbott to Shamsi, out Lbw!! Plumb lbw. Length delivery keeps really low on middle and off, Shamsi looks to work leg-side but couldn't get his bat down in time. Australia win by 123 runs and go 2-0 up in the series. Shamsi lbw b Abbott 0(1)
