“Temba Bavuma’s majestic 179 puts South Africa in command of second Test against Australia ” — what this page in the network covers. Temba Bavuma played a captain’s innings of 179 as South Africa took control of the second Test against Australia in Gqeberha. Bavuma’s near-flawless knock, supported by Marco Jansen’s 85 and Simon Harmer’s 82, allowed the hosts to declare on 425 for 9. Australia then lost Nic Maddinson for a duck before stumps on day three, finishing at 3 for 1.
Bavuma’s innings was a redemption of sorts, after he was left stranded on 95 not out during Australia’s previous tour in 2018. His performance has put South Africa in a strong position to level the series, with Australia needing to bat long to save the match.
