Miller and Bavuma Centuries Seal South Africa's ODI Series Win Over Australia

David Miller and Temba Bavuma struck centuries as South Africa beat Australia by 32 runs in the second ODI at the Wanderers, sealing the three-match series 2-0 with a match to spare.

South Africa slipped to 93 for 3 before Bavuma and Miller came together. The pair added 156 for the fourth wicket, with Bavuma reaching his century off 112 balls before falling for 103. Miller kept going, reaching his own century off just 73 balls and finishing on 142 off 93 balls with 12 fours and nine sixes, his highest ODI score and fourth century against Australia. South Africa closed on 365 for 9, despite a maiden five-wicket haul from Jack Edwards (5-67).

Australia fought hard in reply, with Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head both making 84, but couldn't sustain the chase and were bowled out for 333 with just one ball to spare. It was South Africa's sixth successive bilateral ODI series win over Australia. The third and final ODI is on September 30 at the JB Marks Oval in Potchefstroom.
