South Africa 5 for 231 (Dippenaar 74, Boucher 63*) beat Australia 228 (Hussey 73, Lee 57, Pollock 3-30) by five wickets
South Africa have finally taken the crucial step necessary to beat Australia and they did it despite a poorly timed rain interruption. Since the 1999 World Cup the Proteas have often had their southern hemisphere rivals in serious danger before letting them escape - often spectacularly - and today they faced a similar scenario until Mark Boucher and Justin Kemp pushed them to victory after a shower arrived with five runs and ten balls remaining.
wonderful match...good to see australia challenged!!
