6 reasons why South Africa have been winning despite the absence of AB de Villiers

#6 Three spectacular knocks

Miller thrashed Australian bowlers to all parts of the park

Despite the contribution from other 10 players, at least one player has stood out in each game for South Africa, with the bat. If it was De Kock with his 178 at Centurion, it was Faf at Johannesburg and Killer Miller at Durban.

De Kock's powerful array of strokes left Australia exhausted and clueless. His range of strokes is amazing and his power with the bat, for someone so small, is unbelievable. His 178 single-handedly took South Africa past the 295 target in the first ODI.

Faf Du Plessis loves the Australian attack and the Johannesburg ground. He has centuries in all formats of the game at the venue and his rich vein of form against the Aussies continued in the second ODI. His brilliant century powered South Africa to a huge total that proved too much even for a strong Australian batting line-up.

In the third ODI, David Miller came in at no.6 and played the innings of his life to power the second highest run chase in ODI history. His 69 ball hundred will go down into the history books as one of the best centuries in a run chase.
