After running roughshod over the West Indies on Sunday evening, Australia lock horns with familiar rivals South Africa in match three of the 2016 Tri-Nations Day/Night Series today in the final match played at the Providence National Stadium, Guyana.
Steven Smith’s men romped to a six wicket win over the hosts in a low-scoring affair, knocking them over for 116, completing their chase with 146 balls to spare in a dominant display of all-round cricket. South Africa who are ranked three in the world, were crippled by Sunil Narine who took a career best 6 for 27 in the first match to hand the Caribbean side a four wicket win.
Today’s encounter will be important for the South Africans who will want to register a win against the Aussies, more so their first of the tournament. So far, conditions in Guyana and the nature of the wicket provided great assitance for the slower bowlers in both matches.
