Brought into the squad for the one-dayers, Michael Di Venuto made an immediate impact with a fluent 89 off 111 balls, striking 11 boundaries and giving Australia a solid foundation. With Allan Donald unusually expensive (0 for 67 in 10 overs), the visitors posted a competitive 258. South Africa’s chase started poorly at 31 for 3, but Daryll Cullinan (54) and Jacques Kallis (50) led a spirited recovery. Later, Hansie Cronje (40) and Shaun Pollock (43) kept the hosts in the hunt as dew made conditions tricky for bowlers. However, Shane Warne, struggling to grip the wet ball, bowled with masterful control to close out the game. His composure in the final overs ensured Australia snatched victory by just 8 runs — a reminder of the razor-thin margins that defined this fiercely contested series. #SouthAfricaCricket #AustraliaCricket #MichaelDiVenuto #CricketMax #highlights
