In the first innings, South Africa managed to score 222 runs against Australia losing all wickets. The behavior of the wicket looked like the wicket was a bit bowling-friendly, however the target was 223 for Australia where Australia secured an easy three-wicket win with ten overs in hand. Winning the first match of the series is another step towards winning the series. As it is a five-match ODI series, there is still plenty of opportunity for South Africa to turn around in this series.
South Africa missed the opportunity to secure first win as it was looking easy win for SA once time. SA were so closed to win thais match because all top orders batsmens doesn't batted well. SA bowlers failed to pickup 3 more wickets. at start it wa not easy win but Marnus Labuschagne and agar partnership totally frustrated SA team. In the next matches it will not easy to restrict Aus , their top order will enter in the ground to score big.
Now Australia has regain the no 1 rank after winning the match and now standing with the 119 rating. Pakistan is standing no 2 with same rating. If Pakistan win against the India then Australia will down to No.2 rank otherwise Aus will retain it's position.
I've noticed that Australian players never give up; they keep fighting till the end, and this is the result. Marnus Labuschagne once again showcased his value as a concussion substitute. He played a brilliant innings under immense pressure, and Ashton Agar made a handy contribution too. Congratulations to the Aussies! Marnus and Agar's innings were truly magical. Keep it up.
