The total lead of the Kangaroo team has been 218 runs. On the second day, 14 wickets fell and a total of 239 runs were scored. At one time, Australia’s score was 73 wickets at 73 in the second innings and it seemed that the team would quickly reduce because the ball was moving a lot. But Alex Mary and Mitchell Starc together added 61 runs for the eighth wicket and gave some relief to the team.

South Africa bowled excellent in the entire innings. Many times the batsmen got the edge of the bat, but the ball did not reach the slip. Stark also gave two opportunities, one of which was missed by Marco Jansen in the last over. Lungi Angidi and Kagiso Rabada took 3-3 wickets, while Jansen and Vian Mulder got 1-1 success.
