Temba Bavuma equals MS Dhoni's record with fantastic century vs Australia in 2nd ODI

South African leader Temba Bavuma notched a brilliant century against Australia during their second fifty-over fixture, matching a milestone previously set by former Indian skipper MS Dhoni for hundreds compiled against the same nation while leading a side. Early trouble struck the hosts after Josh Hazlewood removed Aiden Markram on the opening delivery, followed shortly by the exit of Quinton de Kock with the scoreboard reading thirty-six for two.

Rescuing the innings, Bavuma accumulated one hundred three runs from one hundred sixteen deliveries, featuring ten boundaries and a pair of maximums before falling to Jack Edwards as the total advanced to two hundred forty-nine for four. This knock also allowed Bavuma to surpass fellow countrymen AB de Villiers and Graeme Smith on the list of home skippers reaching triple figures against the visitors.
