AUS vs SA Highlights, 3rd T20I: Australia beat South Africa by 2 wickets, clinch series 2-1

Glenn Maxwell to Tristan Stubbs, Quicker ball, the arm ball, outside off, 95.9 kph, Tristan Stubbs looks to drive but is beaten.

Glenn Maxwell to Dewald Brevis, Full, outside off, Brevis stays back and defends it past the bowler, for a run.

Is that gone? There is a run out appeal against Dewald Brevis which has been referred upstairs. No celebrations in the Aussie camp and the first replay shows why. Brevis has dived into the crease before Inglis could even touch the stumps.

Glenn Maxwell to Tristan Stubbs, JUST IN! Brilliant work from Travis Head, nonetheless! Flatter and fuller on the stumps, drifting in. Stubbs switches his stance and reverse sweeps it to pierce the backward point and short third gap. But Head, stationed at the former position, is quick to dive full stretch and stop the ball. The batters skate through to steal a single, and seeing Brevis struggling to make his ground, Head releases a rocket throw towards Josh Inglis. Brevis is forced to dive to drag his bat in as Inglis breaks the stumps in a snap. However, the replay shows that Brevis is just in. 

Glenn Maxwell to Dewald Brevis, Outside off, punched through the covers for a run.

Glenn Maxwell to Tristan Stubbs, Tossed up, outside off, Stubbs leans and punches it through mid off for a single.

Glenn Maxwell to Tristan Stubbs, Full, outside off, Tristan Stubbs looks to sweep but gets a thick inside edge through square leg. Two runs taken.

What's in a misfield? Ask Dwarshuis. The first ball of the previous over was supposed to be a dot. One poor execution of fielding and the next 4 balls go for 11. That's why, every ball is so important. Here's Glenn Maxwell.

Josh Hazlewood to Tristan Stubbs, Landed around off, Stubbs punches it straight back. Hazlewood tries to get around to his right to stop the ball, gets down but the ball escapes through. Single taken.

Josh Hazlewood to Dewald Brevis, On a length, outside off, Dewald pushes it towards backward point in the deep for a run.

Josh Hazlewood to Dewald Brevis, SIX! TOP EDGE AND INTO THE STANDS! Shortish delivery, on the bodyline, nipping into the batter. Dewald Brevis swings to pull, but gets a top edge. However, the ball sails over deep backward square leg for half a dozen. In fact, that has gone into the stands.

Josh Hazlewood to Dewald Brevis, On a good length, around off, Brevis is tight in his defense.

Josh Hazlewood to Dewald Brevis, FOUR! Just gets it through! Almost a half tracker, outside off. Dewald Brevis gets the ball at good height and crunches it to the immediate left of Zampa stationed at backward point. That was hit with such ferocity that Zampa didn't get enough time to intercept.

Josh Hazlewood to Tristan Stubbs, On a length, outside off, Tristan Stubbs opens the face of his bat and guides it past a diving backward point. Actually, it was straight to the fielder but Ben Dwarshuis put in a lazy slide and the ball goes through. A single taken.

Good start by Zampa. 4 runs and a wicket to kickstart his night. Actually, he should have had both batters. Only if Maxwell had not slowed down while trying to take that catch. Josh Hazlewood returns. 2-0-13-1 so far.

Adam Zampa to Tristan Stubbs, Wrong 'un to finish, outside off, Stubbs leans and drives it towards long off for a single. 50 UP FOR SOUTH AFRICA!

Tristan Stubbs walks in next, at number 5, replacing Ryan Rickelton.

Adam Zampa to Ryan Rickelton, OUT! STRAIGHT UP, AND TAKEN! Adam Zampa, who has quite a decent record in white ball cricket at this venue, strikes in his first over! Pushes it through, full and outside the off stump line. It is the googly and is not picked up off the hands of the bowler by Ryan Rickelton. He goes for the premeditated sweep shot, but the ball spins away and takes the top edge. It balloons up in the night sky, but just to the right of the keeper. Josh Inglis takes a few steps to his right, settles under it and gobbles up a regulation catch. South Africa lose their third wicket on 49. Ryan Rickelton departs for a run-a-ball 13.

Adam Zampa to Dewald Brevis, Short again, the googly this time, Dewald works it towards deep mid-wicket for a run.

Adam Zampa to Dewald Brevis, Short, outside off, slower through the air, Brevis rocks back and punches it straight to cover.

Adam Zampa to Ryan Rickelton, Full, on middle, Ryan Rickelton comes down the track and flicks it through mid-wicket for a single.

Adam Zampa to Dewald Brevis, IN THE AIR... Dropped! If anyone could have gotten to that ball, it was Glenn Maxwell, but he didn't manage to catch it. Dropped short from Zampa, on the stumps. Dewald Brevis hangs back and tries to pull it over the leg side, but ends up slicing it up miles in the air, to the left of long on. Glenn Maxwell runs to his left, puts in a dive, but rather than going for the catch with both hands, he sticks his left hand out and goes for a one-handed attempt, and puts it down. The batters cross over. Maxwell appears to be in some pain as he lands on his left shoulder, but eventually gets back on his feet and takes his position.

Seven boundaries and a six. That's 34 runs in 8 balls of the Powerplay. The remaining 28 balls yielded 12 runs and 2 wickets. Here's Adam Zampa.

Ben Dwarshuis to Ryan Rickelton, On a length, outside off, Ryan Rickelton punches it through the covers but cannot get it past Cameron Green. 7 from the over, 46/2 in the Powerplay!

Ben Dwarshuis to Dewald Brevis, Full, around off, DB pushes it towards mid off for a quick single.

Seems like we have lost the ball! Oh wait. Someone has managed to retrieve it from the roof.

Ben Dwarshuis to Dewald Brevis, SIX! ON THE ROOF! That was six the moment he hit it! Ben Dwarshuis digs in a bumper, short and on the shoulder height of the batter. Dewald Brevis picks the length in a snap, positions himself well before swiveling and pulling it miles, on the roof behind deep square leg.

Ben Dwarshuis to Dewald Brevis, Misses out again. Short and outside off, angling away, Dewald punches it away, but finds Cameron Green at cover.

Ben Dwarshuis to Dewald Brevis, Just outside off, on a length, Brevis drives it beautifully, but finds cover.

Ben Dwarshuis to Dewald Brevis, Full and straight, Dewald Brevis drives it straight back. Dwarshuis bends to stop the ball and deflects it towards mid on.

Final over of the Powerplay.

Reload. Ellis comes running in but at the time of delivering, loses his footing and bails out. Looks back at the place where his left foot landed.

Nathan Ellis to Dewald Brevis, Fuller delivery, in front of the sticks, Dewald Brevis plays with a straight bat and drives it to mid on for a single.

Nathan Ellis to Ryan Rickelton, The pace is taken off the ball, on a length, on off, Ryan Rickelton waits and nudges it to the left of mid on for a quick single.

Nathan Ellis to Ryan Rickelton, FOUR! Edgy, but through the gap! Just around the off stump, on a good length. Ryan Rickelton taps the front foot on the crease but does not get to the pitch of the ball. Goes through the shot to access the off side, but gets a thick outside edge and the ball shoots to the left of the short third fielder for a boundary.

Nathan Ellis to Dewald Brevis, Full, on middle and leg, Dewald Brevis flicks it behind square leg for a single to get off the mark.

The hero of the previous game, Baby AB, Dewald Brevis, walks in next, at number 4, replacing Lhuan-dre Pretorius.

Nathan Ellis to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, OUT! CAUGHT! Sometimes, your strength can be your weakness. Smart captaincy from Mitchell Marsh. It is well documented that Lhuan-dre Pretorius likes to play square on the leg side. So logically, captains might prefer to have a deep mid-wicket and give him the single. Instead, Marsh leaves deep mid-wicket open and keeps only one man inside the ring at square on the leg side. Ellis bowls it short and asks Pretorius to go for his favourite shot. The youngster obliges and pulls but neither does he go over the top, nor does he keep the ball down. Finds the only man at mid-wicket, where Aaron Hardie makes no mistake. The 30-run stand is broken and a disappointed Pretorius trudges off, after looking so good for 24 (15). South Africa are 32/2 after 4.2 overs.

Nathan Ellis to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Full, around off, Lhuan-dre Pretorius gets down on a knee to slog it to the leg side but is way too early into the shot and gets a thick inside edge onto his pads.

24 runs in the last 2 overs. Pretorius has scored 19 of those! Nathan Ellis to bowl now.

Ben Dwarshuis to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Around off, on a good length, Lhuan-dre Pretorius pushes it to the right of the bowler, towards mid off and calls Ryan through for a single. The man at mid off collects the ball and releases a wayward throw to the keeper, where Inglis fails to collect. But with the backup fielder at short fine leg, the batters settle with a single.

Ben Dwarshuis to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, FOUR! Intent! Short of a good length, on the stumps. Lhuan-dre Pretorius plays with a flat bat and drags it to the right of the diving mid on fielder for a boundary.

Ben Dwarshuis to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, FOUR! Races away! That teased Josh Inglis all the way through the ropes! Onto the pads, on a length, Lhuan-dre Pretorius uses his wrists and tucks it behind to deep fine leg. The ball loses its steam a bit, and Josh Inglis gives a sprint to chase it down. However, the ball has got enough wheels to beat the Aussie keeper.

Ben Dwarshuis to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Gives himself room this time, does Pretorius, and Dwarshuis bowls it outside off. Not wide, but just outside off. However, LdP is so far down the leg side that he cannot reach the ball.

Ben Dwarshuis to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, FOUR! Lovely shot. Full and on middle and leg, Pretorius jumps down the track and chips it over the bowler for a boundary.

Ben Dwarshuis to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Full, outside off, little bit of shape away, Lhuan-dre Pretorius pushes it defensively towards cover.

That previous over just got the Proteas a bit of a lift. Scoring two boundaries of Josh Hazlewood would have given the batters immense confidence. Time for Ben Dwarshuis.

Josh Hazlewood to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, On top of middle and off, on a tight line and length. Lhuan-dre Pretorius swivels in the crease and pulls it to the mid-wicket region for a single.

Josh Hazlewood to Ryan Rickelton, Geez, almost chopped on! Good-length delivery, outside off, Ryan Rickelton attempts to punch it into the off side, but gets a big inside edge and the ball dribbles past the stumps to the short fine leg region. They cross over.

Josh Hazlewood to Ryan Rickelton, FOUR! Up and over! That in-between length, on middle and leg. Ryan Rickelton stands tall and heaves it over mid-wicket for a boundary. Not exactly off the middle of the blade just yet, but he gets it through.
