South Africa, batting first, posted 259/7 thanks to: Jonty Rhodes (83 off 74, 6 fours, 1 six) – a trademark busy innings full of sweeps and improvisation. Jacques Kallis (71 off 108) anchoring the middle order. Neil McKenzie (37) playing stylish strokes in his comeback. Australia’s chase started strongly with Matthew Hayden’s 77, supported by Damien Martyn (35) and Darren Lehmann (33). But Makhaya Ntini’s fiery second spell (3 wickets) and Klusener’s strike left Australia reeling at 223/9 in the 46th over. Just when South Africa seemed certain of victory, Jimmy Maher (43 off 32)* and youngster Nathan Hauritz put on a courageous last-wicket stand. They needed 37 from 4 overs, then 10 off the last over from Jacques Kallis. Maher & Hauritz dragged it to the last ball, with 2 runs needed to win. They managed only a single — and the match was tied. 🏏 Man of the Match: Jimmy Maher (43* & guiding the chase). A match remembered for its tension, Ntini’s blitz, Rhodes’s sparkling 83, and Australia’s fighting spirit to escape defeat. ⏱️ Key Moments Brett Lee dismisses both SA openers early Kallis & McKenzie rebuild with 78-run stand Jonty Rhodes’ brilliant 83 (including reverse-swept six off Lehmann) South Africa finish 259/7 Hayden anchors Australia with 77 Ntini’s fiery spell: Watson, Bichel, Lee all gone quickly Gillespie bowled by Klusener: Aus 223/9, SA on top Maher & Hauritz fight back with 37-run last wicket stand 10 needed off final over – 2 required off last ball Match ends in dramatic tie – the 3rd between SA & Aus #ausvssa #cricketmax #highlights #tie #thriller
