Watson pulls, Australia v South Africa, 2nd T20 International, MCG, 7th Nov 2014 ©Getty Images |
South Africa won the toss, & opted to bat today, they thought the pitch is good for batting, try to score some 150 - 160 runs, bowl well & party hard after winning :p it was their thinking just(It seems). However, the way Aussie bowlers bowled today, was just awesome. They got the first wicket of Q de Kock in the very first over. Q de Kock's score was; 0(2) 4s(0) 6s(0) SR(0.00)
The next one was RR Rossouw, the way he batted in the previous match, was brilliant. However, unfortunately, He got out early today. (RR Rossouw: 12(8) 4s(3) 6s(0) SR(150.00)
Aussies were in full control till then, they got two of their best batsmen(Yeah, I know, It's too early to say this about Rossouw, but the way he batted yesterday, I was really surprised) on just 14 runs. After Rossouw, Duminy & RR Hendricks made the partnership of 32 runs, but they didn't go too far, Boyce broke that partnership by getting RR Hendricks, It was the highest partnership of the South African innings. Second highest partnership was between Miller & Duminy of 30 runs.
However, South Africa scored just 101 in 20 overs. Target of 101 runs was not difficult, It was easy for Aussies.
Aussies made this total in just 12.4 overs. Ben Dunk & Finch built the partnership of 43. Then Watson & Finch scored 49 together. These two partnerships helped Aussies to chase the target quickly & too early.
Moreover, Aussies won the match by seven wickets. This win will give them some confidence as they lost the Test series against Pakistan very badly & then the first T20 against Proteas by seven wickets.
CJ Boyce named man of the match, He took two wickets & gave just 15 runs in his four overs spell.
