South Africa will consider that a win that spin is introduced so early. A couple of singles before Breetzke smokes a cover drive for four with a flourish of his bat. He\u2019ll keep the strike with a single to the sweeper on the off-side. He looks good. I don\u2019t want to put the mockers on him, but he really looks a quality player.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-i9zbi8\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;sport\/live\/2026\/sep\/27\/south-africa-v-australia-second-mens-one-day-international-live&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-6ab8d8ff8f08e457778155f9&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-6ab8d8ff8f08e457778155f9&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;South Africa v Australia: second men\u2019s one-day cricket international \u2013 live&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=South Africa v Australia: second men\u2019s one-day cricket international \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/sep\/27\/south-africa-v-australia-second-mens-one-day-international-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ab8d8ff8f08e457778155f9#block-6ab8d8ff8f08e457778155f9\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"block-6ab8d8158f08e457778155f4\" class=\"block dcr-wo4zmo\">\n<header class=\"dcr-dm96fu\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><strong>10th over: South Africa 51-2 (Bavuma 30, Breetzke 5) <\/strong>Ellis into the attack.

data-link-name=\"in body link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">home of the greatest 50-over game ever played<\/a>, for a very special day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">It\u2019s the annual Pink Day at the Wanderers where the home side will change their green kit pink to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer detection and treatment. They\u2019ll also be switching out their names on the backs of their shirts for the names of survivors. David Miller will have his mom\u2019s name on his back today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">On the pitch, this is South Africa\u2019s best venue for high octane cricket. A bouncy pitch sees the ball fly off the surface and onto the batters\u2019 blades while the thin air at altitude compels the ball over the ropes and into the heaving stands. In my opinion, it\u2019s the best venue for cricket anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Australia need a response after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/2026\/sep\/25\/south-africa-australia-first-odi-report\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">their chase of 298 collapse in Durban in a 67-run defeat<\/a>. Matthew Breetzke\u2019s 112 launched South Africa to a decent score before Micth Marsh and Travis Head got off to a flyer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">But regular wickets, including that of Matt Renshaw who was caught spectacularly by Marco Jansen on the boundary, pegged the Aussies back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Can they find an extra gear to level the series?
