Temba Bavuma matches Faf du Plessis with 5 ODI tons as South Africa captain

South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma delivered a masterclass during the second fixture against Australia, compiling a stellar 103 runs from 116 deliveries. His knock featured ten boundaries and a pair of maximums, steering the hosts forward while securing his fifth career century as leader in the fifty-over format.

This milestone draws him level with Faf du Plessis for centuries at the helm, placing both players behind Graeme Smith and AB de Villiers on the all-time national list.

During this impressive display at Johannesburg, Bavuma combined with David Miller for a massive 156-run stand for the fourth wicket. This partnership established a new benchmark for South Africa against the visiting Australians on home turf, anchoring the team's total effectively.

The strong effort builds upon a 1-0 advantage that the home side previously established in the ongoing series.
