South Africa followed their test series win over Australia by replacing them at the top of the ranking, taking one day series 4-1 with a 39-run triumph. They chose to bat in Perth and was anchored in a calm 97 from 117 balls by Hashim Amla, who shared 118 in 23 overs with AB de Villers, who was 60 of 71.
JP Duminy hit an unbeaten 60 from 42 with three strange to take them to 288-6.
Mike Hussey made 78 and Brad Haddin 63 men Debutant sailors Lonwabo Tsotsobe's 4-50 as Australia all out for 249 .It was a resilient performance from South Africa, and had one of the most inexperienced line-ups. There was no Graeme Smith, Jacques KALLIS, Ashwell Prince, Mark Boucher and Dale Steyn and bowling attack consisted of two left-arm Debutant, Tsotsobe and 19-year-old Wayne Parnell. On a warm afternoon in the day / night encounter WACA fit-again Nathan Bracken made an early opportunity for Australia when Herschel Gibbs came down the door for him, and skied to the side, but replacement Cameron White could not hold the difficult chance running back from the center.
Still set on the big pictures, Gibbs departed in the next over the edge to the middle of his back vippedør again. Amla rose at regular six large cuts Ben Hilfenhaus, but Neil McKenzie fell in the first over from James Hopes also trying to advance down the pitch. The great partnership, followed contained only four boundaries, all of them to de Villiers, but helped create a strong platform. De Villiers clearly marked entry and the need to expand and sacrificed their Wicket in over 37 laps in the deep mid-Wicket, while Amla fell three short of the first century of the series when he feathered game, a hostage to the user make a late cut. Duminy selected destroyed Mitchell Johnson over the middle of it for six to 20 came out for the 45th over and added to the wild in the next two overs from Bracken which 92 came from the last 10 and a rigid target was posted.Ponting made a fast start as usual with two typical liquid drives through since early in his innings of Tsotsobe.
But they would be his only limits that Debutant continued premium vippedør Australia captain, who top-edge a short trip and wicketkeeper De Villers drove back to the bag matched chance.
Michael Clark fell in the next over, trying to go out from Morne Morkel only ball to glimpse of a bat in pieces. Tray comes David Warner, who has chosen destroyed Morkel down the ground for four in the third course, flat-batted the paceman over the mid-Wicket for six. But after reaching 22, he was rejected for the most unfortunate way to Mike Hussey is the correct drive comes back to the timber, so Parnell and diving Warner was well out of their country. The Hussey brothers together, but the required run-rate still rose to more than seven per over, because no limit was scored in more than 14 overs. Home fans had hoped for a partnership of the scope of Amla and de Villiers, but it ended at 69 when David ran innocuous appearance off-spin of Duminy just short covering. It resulted in Brad Haddin with 167 needed at a rate of 8.1 per over, but increasingly combative Hussey Rode his luck to reach a bold 50 from 72 balls. Hussey moved down the pitch to flick full Duminy throw bounce rate of four 34 above, only the eighth of the innings, but when the drinks were taken at the end of the course, the requirement was 144 from 16 - nine per over.
Having survived a difficult chance when Botha could not keep a running back from cover, Hussey was batting power play with 37 overs gone, and 131 still needed. With only three men are allowed outside the circle Hussey tried its best to expedite the launch Tsotsobe over mid-off for six and passes a full shed behind square for four. But the young sailors had Audacity to send a slower ball, and it completely fooled again to turn back leg stump. An eventful over cost 19 ended with a huge six over mid-Wicket of Haddin left 108 needed from 66 balls. The vigilant Botha bowled hope but Haddin fourth four played their fifth ODI fifty from 39 balls. Albi Morkel injured his leg after a collision with Vaughn van Jaarsveld chase one over the edge in depth, but that does not dampen spirits in South Africa, which was quickly removed again as amiable Tsotsobe appealed for a return catch from Johnson almost as after -- trodde replay confirms a clear dismissal. Tsotsobe held a catch-all address link to head to Oust Haddin and give Parnell a weed girl and replacement Steyn took the winner's catch of the bowling of Morne Morkel.
South Africa has the opportunity to claim the top Test ranking from Australians as well against them when the series starts in Johannesburg on 26 February.
