South Africa and Australia are all set to face off in the fourth game of their ongoing five-match ODI series. The SuperSport Park in Centurion will be hosting this clash on Friday, September 15.

Before the third ODI on Tuesday at the Senwes Park in Potchefstroom, South Africa were in all sorts of trouble. After losing five matches on the trot, the Proteas were in a must-win position to stay alive in the series.

On September 12, however, the hosts came out firing on all cylinders and won the match by a mammoth margin of 111 runs. After being put in to bat first, South Africa scored 338 for the loss of six wickets in 20 overs.

Aiden Markram scored an unbeaten 102 off 74 balls with nine fours and four sixes. Quinton de Kock was at his very best, racking up 82 runs off 77 deliveries. Skipper Temba Bavuma also made 57 off 62 balls.

Thereafter, South Africa bowled the Aussies out for 227 in 34.3 overs. Gerald Coetzee accounted for four scalps. David Warner carried his good form to score 78 off 56, but his efforts went in vain.
