Marnus Labuschagne becomes Australia's worst batter in 147 years with 48-innings century drought

During the series-deciding final fixture in Cape Town, Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne fell for a zero in the initial innings, extending his lengthy dry spell. Having gone forty-eight matches without reaching three figures, he surpassed the previous unwanted benchmark held by Alick Bannerman.

Earlier in the contest, the hosts won the toss, elected to bat, and accumulated a total of three hundred twenty-nine runs anchored by strong performances from Marques Ackerman, Aiden Markram, David Bedingham, and Marco Jansen. In response, Pat Cummins' squad reached one hundred five runs for the loss of two wickets before the close of the segment.
