England Obliterate South Africa In Historic ODI Triumph
Coming into the third ODI with the series already lost 2-0, England were determined to avoid a whitewash. Sent in to bat first, they made an explosive start, reaching 100 runs in just 13.4 overs. Jamie Smith led the early charge with a brisk 62 from 48 deliveries, while Ben Duckett chipped in with a handy 31.
The momentum continued as Joe Root and Jacob Bethell produced a game-changing 182-run stand. Bethell, just 21 years old, smashed his maiden international century - a stunning 110 off 82 balls - becoming the second-youngest Englishman to score a hundred in the men’s ODIs. Root added to the fireworks with a composed knock, bringing up his 19th ODI century. Jos Buttler piled on the pressure late in the innings with a blistering 62 off 32, propelling England to a mammoth 414-run total.
