Photo: ReutersDavid Warner's brilliant 173 was not enough to save Australia from a 32-run defeat by South Africa in the fifth and final one-day International at Newlands on Wednesday. Warner bludgeoned 24 boundaries in his 136-ball stay at the crease before falling five short of his highest ODI score. South Africa won the toss and Rilee Rossouw compiled a fine 122 off 118 balls to help propel them to 327 for eight in their 50 overs, the fifth time in this series Australia had failed to bowl out their opponents. Seamer Joe Mennie, playing his second ODI, was the pick of the visitors' bowling attack with figures of 3-49. The sides will clash again next month when South Africa visit Australia for three tests starting on November 3, including a day/night game in Adelaide.
