Score on arrival: 179 for 4, chasing 372
Final score: 372 for 6, won by 4 wickets with 4 balls to spare
The second-highest ODI chase of all time had a lot of similarities with the highest: South Africa beat Australia in a bilateral ODI at home, thanks to rollicking knocks from dashers throughout their batting order.
South Africa lost all but one of their specialist batsmen with 155 runs still to get, but David Miller ensured that they sealed the five-match series against Australia in the third ODI with his third hundred in the format.
His knock completely overshadowed tons from Steven Smith and David Warner, a duo who would go on to suffer far greater setbacks in South Africa in the years to come.
