South Africa 132 for 3 (Smith 40) beat Australia 131 (Ferguson 50, Parnell 4-25, Steyn 4-27) by seven wickets

A brutal new-ball effort from Wayne Parnell and Dale Steyn set up a comprehensive seven-wicket win for South Africa that levelled the five-match series 1-1 in Centurion. The first game in Durban was described as a one-sided victory to Australia but it was a nail-biter compared to this non-competition.

The result was all but decided after the first 44 balls of the match. Parnell and Steyn were so destructive in their opening spells that after 7.2 overs Australia had collapsed to 19 for 5 and even the most die-hard Australian fans were battling to conjure up a scenario in which they would be celebrating at the end of the day.
