Great Barrier Reef Arena: South Africa produced yet another dominant performance to defeat Australia by 84 runs at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in the second ODI on Friday.

Matthew Breetzke (88) and Tristian Stubbs (74) powered the Proteas to 277/10 in 49.1 overs before Lungi Ngidi returned with figures of 5-42 to dismiss the hosts at 193 in 37.4 overs. With this win, South Africa now hold an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, marking their fifth consecutive win over Australia in ODI's.

With Aiden Markram (0) taking the skipper duties in absence of Temba Bavuma, due to ongoing management of his hamstring, and opting to bat first, the right-handed batter was dismissed by Xavier Bartlett in just the second over for naught.
