Glenn Maxwell’s brilliant unbeaten 62 guided the Australians home in a tense chase of 173, overcoming a late wobble. Despite a fighting half-century from South Africa’s Dewald Brevis, his team couldn’t defend their total, falling to a disciplined Australian side who clinched the decider. The two sides now turn their attention to the first of a three-match One Day International series starting on Tuesday, also at Cairns.
