Brisban: Superb half-century from Hussey, back in some form. Australia have won by six wickets with seven deliveries remaining. They bowled well to keep South Africa to 157, and chased it down comfortably in the end. The openers didn't click, and the run rate had reached a tizzy at one stage. Then Hussey and Ponting formed a partnership, only for two wickets to fall in relative succession. But Hussey kept his cool and found a confident ally in White, and the duo finished the match. A lot of stunning hits in their 69-run stand in just 5.5 overs, but each enjoyed reprieves from the South African fielders. Australia win the Twenty20 series 2-0.

The Man of the Match is Michael Hussey for his unbeaten half-century.

Botha said - "You need to take your chances if you want to be a really good side. We had to try different things but it didn't work out. We can compete with Australia, and hopefully we can nip a few in the one-day series."

Ponting told : "We've had great crowds. The players are enjoying it too. We felt that total was chaseable. It was slow at the top but Hussey and White chased brilliantly. Our all-round skills have been pretty good."

The Australian team huddles together with the trophy while the shutterbugs go into overdrive.

South Africa have won the toss and will bat. AB de Villiers, who copped a nasty blow to the midriff from Shaun Tait on Sunday, has been replaced by Neil McKenzie. Australia have made no changes.

South Africa have made four changes to their squad after Sunday night's 52-run belting by Australia. The Under-19 star Wayne Parnell, Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers and Morne Morkel come into the side at the expense of Jacques Kallis, Makhaya Ntini, Neil McKenzie and Lonwabo Tsotsobe.
