South Africa claim yet another ODI series against Australia. Game three is in Potchefstroom on Wednesday. Australia will want something from this series heading into the Tests. South Africa will want a sweep. On behalf of the team, thanks for your company. See you next time.

Presentation

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma: "Another good allround team performance. Started with the bat. Unbelievable innings by David and then the bowlers as well, they put us under pressure but a couple of wickets put them on the back foot. I was able to take my time with the bat and build some partnerships. It's nice to contribute. There was a lot more spin than was expected. I think the way the spin complemented our attack was great."

Australia captain Mitch Marsh: "Really disappointing. Fair play to South Africa. I thought they played really well. Outplayed us again. In both games, the way we've set up the innings has been really good but we haven't been able to execute in those middle phases which is a great learning curve for our players and full credit to South Africa for how they've bowled through those periods."

Player of the match is David Miller: "Great feeling. 142, very stoked. Against Australia as well so always nice to get one over them. They're so competitive. They're always at you and they're world class players. It was a great day out. Very chuffed to get over the line and put in a big shift for the team."

6.07pm South Africa claim a 2-0 series win. They win here by 32 runs. Decent effort in the end by Australia to get within 32 of a record chase but it was always too many. Marsh and Head made 84 apiece but when you compare that to 142 and 103 from Miller and Bavuma it is a major difference. Miller's 142 from 93 balls was the innings that won South Africa the game. He helped take Australia's spinners for 133 from 17 combined overs. They did not take a wicket between them. It was left to second game allrounder Jack Edwards to take five wickets after Nathan Ellis only bowled four overs due to a side issue. By contrast, Markram, Maharaj and Fortuin took 5 for 179 from 30 combined overs against Australia's batters who cannot solve South Africa's spin riddle. Bartlett made a brave 50 but Williams and Marco Jansen closed it out.

ved: "margin of defeat is equal to 16 short for each opener's 100s"

Graham: "Surely Miller will be man of the match!"

Williams to Hazlewood, OUT, chipped to mid-off! South Africa win the series. Full, outside leg, he backs away and tries to loft over mid-off but just chips it to the fielder on the circle
