South Africa are set to hosts Australia in the fourth One-Day International (ODI) of the five match ODI series at Port Elizabeth on Sunday. The live telecast of the match will be available on TEN Sports HD 1 & Ten Sports 1. The live streaming of the match will be aired on tensports.com. South Africa fueled by David Miller blew away Australia in the fourth ODI to win the match to record the second highest run chase in ODI history. Australia would have relaxed a bit after scoring 371 runs in 50 overs with the help of centuries from David Warner and Steven Smith. Full Cricket Scorecard, South Africa Vs Australia, 4th ODI
Warner and skipper Smith hit centuries for Australia and seemed to have done enough to get their team back into the series after losing the first two matches of the five-game series. The match seemed all but won for Australia when 20-year-old Andile Phehlukwayo joined fellow left-hander Miller with South Africa precariously placed at 265 for six. Phehlukwayo made 42 not out and helped Miller see South Africa home with an unbeaten partnership of 107 off 74 balls. He engineered the run-chase from a crunch situation and snatched an implausible victory from imminent jaws of defeat with a well-deserved century. In fact, this could well be a turning point in Miller’s parched international career as his mere runs column at the highest level also resulted in his axing from the national side recently and has made a comeback with this series.
Warner hit 117 off 107 balls and captain Smith made 108 off 107 deliveries. It was only the third time in 42 one-day internationals that a team had made 300 or more at Durban. They now have a healthy lead of 3-0 and will be eyeing a whitewash.
