South Africa celebrates a wicket against Australia in yesterday's ODI. "We were exceptional with the ball and in the field," said South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis. Nathan Coulter-Nile's cameo knock of 34 – including one majestic pull for six - was a rare high point for a side missing David Warner and Steve Smith because of the suspensions doled out for the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa in March. De Kock and opening partner Reeza Hendricks (44) got South Africa off to a blistering start as Australia’s seam attack struggled to utilise the conditions. "When South Africa bowled as well as they did today, you have to be at your absolute best."
