Aus 147-2 (17.4 ovs) vs SA 146-5

Australia are set for another easy win, with nine needed from three overs.

Botha to bowl the 18th over. Three singles from the first three balls before White ends things in style with a huge six over midwicket.

Australia have coasted to a convincing eight-wicket victory.

Hussey finishes unbeaten on 45 from 37 balls, while White got some time out in the middle with 21 from 13 balls.

Steyn and Morkel bowled well with the new ball, but surprising that they bowled just three overs despite Watson and Hussey attacking the other bowlers.

Watson's all-round show once again lifts Aus to victory as he made 70 from 47 balls, before taking 2 for 29 in four overs.

Stay tuned for another high-voltage contest when India take on arch-rivals Pakistan in the second match of the day, to start at 1930 hours IST.
