# Cricket: The Proteas can clinch the one-day series against Australia in Mackay tomorrow after Tuesday’s convincing victory in the first encounter in Cairns. Aiden Markram, captain Temba Bavuma and Matthew Breetzke’s half-centuries propelled South Africa to a huge score of 296 for eight, whereafter spinner Keshav Maharaj took his first five-wicket haul in one-day internationals to help bowl the hosts out for 198. The Proteas’ tour will end with Sunday’s final ODI, also in Mackay, after Australia won the T20 series 2-1.
