South Africa leveled their series against Australia following a commanding innings and 31-run victory in the second Test. After forcing a follow-on by restricting the visitors to 99 runs in the first innings, the Proteas secured the win on the final day despite weather interruptions.

Temba Bavuma set the tone for the hosts with a personal best score of 179, while Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen, and Wiaan Mulder spearheaded the bowling effort to dismantle the Australian lineup. Travis Head and Scott Boland attempted to salvage a draw for Australia, but the team was ultimately bowled out for 295.

This result sets up a decisive third match in Cape Town.
