Australia won by 5 wickets

Temba Bavuma [South Africa captain]: We always talk about us being resilient and there was an opportunity for us to be resilient. Big effort from the guys to take the match to the last over. We just didn't get enough with the bat and it was always going to be tough for the bowlers to defend a low total. Great effort from them to take it to this stage. Australia bowled well. They assessed the length well and hit that back of a length. Their spinners also bowled tight. Aiden's innings helped us reach a decent total. At the last, it didn't go according to our plans but we can take the positives. We showed fight. We had spoken during the halftime that we won't give up.
