Australia, after winning the toss and batting first, slumped to 83/5 halfway through their innings. Greg Blewett showed resilience, but it was Adam Gilchrist (77 off 88 balls) who led the fightback against South Africa’s quality bowling. South Africa began confidently at 81/1, but Damien Bichel’s 3 wickets sparked a collapse to 143/8. Shaun Pollock (41 off 37 balls) tried to carry his team home, but he lost partners at the other end and eventually ran out of support. In front of 19,524 fans, Australia held on for a 15-run victory, leveling the series 2-2. ⏱️ Key Moments (Highlights) Australia Innings Collapse: 83/5 at halfway stage Adam Gilchrist’s Masterclass: 77 off 88 balls South Africa Strong Start: 81/1 chasing Damien Bichel Strikes: 3 quick wickets turn the game Shaun Pollock’s Resistance: 41 off 37 balls under pressure Thrilling Finish: South Africa fall short by 15 runs 🏏 Match Facts: Match: South Africa vs Australia, 4th ODI Series: Australia tour of South Africa 1997 Venue: Kingsmead, Durban Date: April 5, 1997 (Day/Night) Toss: Australia (batted first) Result: Australia won by 15 runs Man of the Match: Shaun Pollock Attendance: 19,524 👉 Subscribe for more classic ODI highlights, rare 90s matches, and cricket archive gems! #australia #cricketmax #highlights #ausvssa
