Australia continued their dominance over South Africa in the 2002 ODI series, clinching a 45-run victory at Centurion thanks to a disciplined batting effort from Jimmy Maher (95 off 150) and a devastating new-ball spell by Glenn McGrath & Jason Gillespie. Batting first, Australia struggled on a tricky surface but Maher, playing in place of Michael Bevan, held the innings together. He found some support from Matthew Hayden (34) & Damien Martyn (32) as Australia posted a competitive total. In reply, South Africa collapsed early yet again! McGrath (3 wickets) & Gillespie (4 wickets) ripped through the top order, leaving them at 81/6. Though Lance Klusener fought back with a 50 off 50 balls, it was too late, as Australia wrapped up another clinical victory. 📌 Key Highlights: ✅ Jimmy Maher’s resilient 95 off 150 balls ✅ Hayden & Martyn’s crucial contributions ✅ McGrath (3 wickets) & Gillespie (4 wickets) dismantle SA ✅ Ponting’s brilliant run-out ✅ Klusener’s fighting half-century (50 off 50 balls) ✅ Shane Watson’s international debut 🏆 Man of the Match: Jimmy Maher 🔔 Like, Comment & Subscribe for more classic ODI matches! #AUSvsSA #Highlights #CricketMax
