Batting first, Australia managed 205 after Shaun Pollock (4/37) and Mornantau Hayward rattled the top order. Only Steve Waugh (51) and late contributions from Ian Harvey & Shane Warne gave the Aussies some respectability. Chasing 206, South Africa stumbled from 91/2 to 122/6 as Brett Lee and Shane Warne struck in quick succession. But when the pressure was at its peak, Lance Klusener (52 off 50, 9 fours) and Mark Boucher (unbeaten 47) held their nerve. Their unbroken 87-run stand guided South Africa to a memorable win, burying the ghosts of Edgbaston 1999. 🏏 Match Facts: 🏟 Venue: Wanderers, Johannesburg 🗓 April 2000 🏆 Result: South Africa won by 6 wickets (won series 2-1) 🌟 Man of the Match: Lance Klusener (52* & match-winning partnership) 💥 Pollock: 4/37 in his 100th ODI 🔥 Brett Lee bowled at 156 kph (2nd fastest at the time) This was a classic South Africa vs Australia ODI battle, where the mental toughness of Klusener and Boucher finally turned the tide in South Africa’s favor. #cricketmax #ausvssa #highlights #final
