Morkel powers to win in record chase: 3rd ODI (SCG)

Herschelle Gibbs 64 from 52 balls got his team off to a blistering start and man of the match Albie Morkel 40 off 22 balls finished it off as the tourists won the clash with 21 balls to spare.

It was a record run chase under lights at the SCG and handed South Africa a 2-1 lead.

Earlier David Warner showed that he is no onehit wonder with a pulsating 69. Proteas skipper Johan Botha 3-32 got his side back into the contest as Australia lost their last nine wickets for 125 to fold for 269 from 49.2 overs.
