South Africa kept the five-match ODI series alive on Tuesday 12 September when they claimed a 111-run victory over the tourists in Potchefstroom.
 
Aiden Markram scored an unbeaten 102 off 74 balls as the Proteas posted 338-6 in their 50 overs. Australia started strongly in their chase, but were ultimately bowled out for 227 inside 35 overs, thanks in the main to a four-wicket haul from Gerald Coetzee.
 
Other top performers for the hosts were Quinton de Kock (82 off 77 balls) and Temba Bavuma (57 off 62 balls), as well as Tabraiz Shamsi (2-29) and Keshav Maharaj (2-37), while Australia’s efforts were helped along by 78 off 56 balls from David Warner and 2-39 by Travis Head.

Quotes
 
“It's nice to contribute to a win and keep the series alive,” said Man of the Match in the third ODI, Aiden Markram.
 
“Challenging, it was quite stoppy. Always learning on the job in conditions like this. We had some good partnerships which helped get to a nice total. In the initial 10 balls or so, I wasn't fluent. But it was great to be there till the end. I was trying to think the whole time, in the last over, I swung a bit too hard. Guess hundred was meant to be.”
 
“There were errors with bat and ball on which we could have improved,” said Australia captain Mitchell Marsh.
 
“We go to Joburg (Centurion) 2-1. I thought 290-300 was par. Thought I misread it a little bit, it spun. Markram showed his class. No doubt we'll be exposed to such conditions in the World Cup. We've generally played spin well, hope this was just a slip-up and we can jump back.”
