Batsman Marnus Labuschagne struck a century, as Australia reached a final total of 254 for seven in Saturday’s third and final ODI against the Proteas at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom.
Labuschagne finished with 108, which spanned as many deliveries – and featured eight fours and no sixes.
South Africa named debutant fast bowler Daryn Dupavillon in the XI. He welcomed the key wicket of opener Aaron Finch as a first in international cricket.
