ODI no. 2552
Mar 24, 2007
The champions show what they're made of. The Aussies defeat the South Africans by 83 massive runs.
One of most impressive feats in the game was the century scored by Hayden. He hit a magnificent 68-ball 101. Had the rest of the Australians matched his strike rate, the team would have notched up 444 runs!
Still, it's a rare feat for every single player to have a strike rate of a 100 or more in an ODI innings. This was the area in which the South Africans failed. They needed big runs in every over; Kallis couldn't manage and thus they lost.
It's possible that these two teams will meet again very soon. Perhaps, in the semi-final or ... the final.
