Innings Highlights
| Over No. | Event Type | Event | Team Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 19.4 | FOUR | Starc to Peterson, FOUR, Peterson continues to pull off these strokes. It was on the middle and leg, Peterson shuffles a bit and paddles it nicely down to the fine leg fence | 144/5 |
| 19.2 | FOUR | Starc to Peterson, FOUR, Peterson continues to bat well. Very full outside off again, this time Peterson drills it through extra cover. Struck very hard. | 140/5 |
| 19.1 | FOUR | Starc to Peterson, FOUR, the partnership between Peterson and Behardien is now 50, this was full and outside off, Peterson gets across and whips it hard and in the air through square leg for a boundary. Very good shot that. | 136/5 |
| 19 | SIX | P Cummins to Behardien, SIX, the extra ball proves to be costly. A full toss and Behardien does not miss out. He stays back and pulls it over the ropes at mid wicket. This stand is giving just the impetus SA desperately seeked. | 132/5 |
| 18.4 | FOUR | P Cummins to Behardien, FOUR, a very good short delivery from P Cummins but Behardien gets a boundary. He was late on the pull but gets some glove on it to send it very fine and just over the keeper | 125/5 |
| 17.4 | FOUR | Shane Watson to Peterson, FOUR, Peterson is striking them well. A full toss and Peterson lofts it nicely wide of the man at long on. One bounce and over the ropes it goes. | 115/5 |

Innings Highlights
| Over No. | Event Type | Event | Team Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17.4 | SIX | Johan Botha to Cameron White, SIX, game over for Australia and that should seal a semi-final spot for them. Floated up on middle, White smacks it over the deep midwicket fence for a big six. Handsome win for Australia, South Africa will be totally demoralised. | 147/2 |
| 17 | FOUR | Peterson to Cameron White, FOUR, tossed up on middle, White waits for it and smacks it over mid on, to the vacant region, the ball bounces once before going over the rope. | 138/2 |
| 16.4 | SIX | Peterson to Michael Hussey, SIX, just not South Africa's day, tossed up outside off, Hussey gets forward and smacks it high and long over the deep midwicket fence for a huge six. | 133/2 |
| 16 | FOUR | Johan Botha to Cameron White, FOUR, really poor bowling and fielding. Short and outside off, White pulls it to wide long on, it was an easy stop, but Parnell fumbled yet again, letting it go past the ropes. | 125/2 |
| 14.3 | FOUR | Steyn to Cameron White, FOUR, low full toss outside off, White gets a thick outside edge which runs down to the third man fence. | 118/2 |
| 14.1 | FOUR | Steyn to Michael Hussey, FOUR, good length delivery outside off, Hussey gets forward and drives it crisply through extra cover for another boundary. Lovely shot from Hussey, less than run a ball required now. | 113/2 |
