Jacques Kallis (80 off 58) and Jonty Rhodes (71 off 50) added a blazing 131-run stand in just 15 overs. South Africa smashed 102 runs in the last 10 overs, setting a record total against Australia. 🦘 Australia’s Record Chase (327/7) Adam Gilchrist (52 off 33) tore into the new ball, bringing up 50 in just 27 balls before falling in spectacular fashion. Despite early wickets (123/3 in 15 overs), Ricky Ponting (91 off 106) and Darren Lehmann (91 off 94) produced a masterful 183-run partnership, the backbone of the chase. Even after both fell in quick succession, Australia had the ultimate finisher: Michael Bevan, who calmly guided the chase. A run-out of Shane Watson with scores level added late drama before Shane Warne hit the winning boundary. This was the day Australia proved why they were the undisputed kings of one-day cricket. 🏏 Result: Australia won by 3 wickets 🏏 Man of the Match: Darren Lehmann ⏱️ Key Moments Graeme Smith’s confident 84, setting the tone for South Africa Kallis (80 off 58) & Rhodes (71 off 50) explode with 131-run stand South Africa post 326/3 – highest vs Australia Gilchrist’s brutal 52 off 33 balls (50 in 27) Ponting & Lehmann’s majestic 183-run 4th wicket stand Lehmann stumped for 91, Ponting dismissed same over Bevan steadies nerves – classic finishing touch Shane Warne seals victory with boundary – Australia chase 327 #ausvssa #cricketmax #highlights #thriller
