I loved the bit of flair from Rabada holding the pose.
Shotttt!
One handed from Kagiso Rabada but he plants Mitchell Starc over long-on for a much-needed six.
Hold the pose too.
Good running.
Kagiso Rabada drives down the ground and they spring through for a couple.
Left-armer Mitchell Starc will bowl the final over.

The 120 mark is the holy grail for South Africa.
Pat Cummins finishes with figures of 1-17 from his four overs. It has been a good day out for all the Aussie bowlers.
Six balls left. Can South Africa get two or three boundaries and get up to that 115-120 mark?
Kagiso Rabada picks up a couple with a lofted drive down to mid-on.
These two wickets in an over from Adam Zampa allowed Australia to really take control of this one...
Just three runs from the over...
Kagiso Rabada is on six off 14 balls. This has hardly been vintage.
Anrich Nortje is the new batter. He's come prepared... he's donning the arm and chest guard.
He's expecting some short stuff.

Markram could not have timed that more beautifully. He just picked the fielder out perfectly. He had to go for it.
Markram c Maxwell b Starc 40 (SA 98-8)
Straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket.
Mitchell Starc starts round the wicket, and strays onto the pads of Aiden Markram. He times his flick beautifully, but Glenn Maxwell literally doesn't need to move an inch to take a simple catch.
Mitchell Starc, who went for 19 in his first overs, is back on...
Markram 40, Rabada 5
Good comeback from Josh Hazlewood with two dot balls to end the over.
Decent over for South Africa though, with 12 runs coming off it.
Another three like that and they'd have a score on the board...

Finally some intent from South Africa...
Slap!
Kagiso Rabada stands still and wallops Josh Hazlewood back down the ground for his first four.

That is a wonderful six from Markram.
Josh Hazlewood returns and Josh Hazlewood is dispatched...
He drops a bit short and Aiden Markram pulls him over mid-wicket for the first six of the Super 12s.
Shot, lad.
