After the shameful defeat of Australia against Pakistan, they were hunger for the victory and want win the games for the morale of the team. They were defeated in the first match of T-twenty series against South Africa but they bounce back very well and win other two remaining matches. In this way they won the series by 2-1. This victory gives the Australian side boost up confidence.

Now come to the one day series. We know that South Africa has the good one day side because they have the Steyn gun and Amla run machine. Their bowlers are very good on bouncy tracks and all were excepting that South Africa will defeat Australia easily in the first one day. South Africa won the toss but they elected to bowl first. Australia makes a good opening stand with Warner and Finch. They give the start of 94 runs and both openers wickets fell on the same score of 94. Bailey from the Australian side was the top scorer from the Australian team. He scores 70 runs from 75 balls. All the players from Australian team give good performance in the batting and make their part. They managed to put the total of 300 runs on the board. Now the target to the South Africa was 301 runs.

When the South Africa starts their innings, this time their openers fail to give the good start and both lose their wickets quickly. Captain De Villiers and the Miller were the two top scorers from the South African team. De Villiers scores 80 from 76 balls and Miller scored 65 runs from 65 balls. All other batsman from the South Africa team fails to contribute with the bat. That’s why the South Africa was 32 runs short from the target. I think that was the bad performance by South Africa. They will have to give the good performance to win the one day series.
