Australia beats Proteas by 73 runs in 3rd one-dayer

OPENER Aaron Finch scored 109 and Steve Smith added an unbeaten 73 off 55 balls as Australia beat South Africa by 73 runs in Canberra yesterday to lead 2-1 in their five-match one-day international series.

After winning the toss, Finch and David Warner (53) raced to 118-0 in the 20th over. Finch notched his fifth one-day century when he hit consecutive boundaries off Imran Tahir to reach 99, then took a hurried single when the spinner misfielded. Australia finished at 329 for five.

In South Africa’s reply, opener Hashim Amla scored 102 before being bowled by Josh Hazlewood. The Proteas were dismissed for 256 in the 45th over, with last man Tahir unable to bat because of a knee injury. The last two matches will be played in Melbourne tomorrow and in Sydney on Sunday.
