South Africa v Australia, 2016-17
Wisden's review of the second ODI, South Africa v Australia, 2016-17
South Africa bullied the bowling on a flat, fast pitch to set up their second-biggest victory over Australia by runs; they had won by 196 at Cape Town in March 2006. Du Plessis's sixth ODI hundred provided the bulk of their 361, while the tourists' inexperienced seamers bore the brunt of the assault: Joe Mennie conceded 82, the most by an Australian on debut, and Chris Tremain 78, which equalled the old record (held by Steve Smith). The in-form Rossouw, retained as opener despite Hashim Amla's availability, relentlessly pierced the off side until departing in the 25th over.
Man of the Match: F. du Plessis
