Steyn, Parnell ensure Aussie defeat
Opening bowlers Dale Steyn and Wayne Parnell produced devastating
performances as South Africa bounced back with a convincing seven-wicket
victory in the second one-day international against Australia at
Centurion Park here on Sunday.
Australia were bowled out for 131 after their top order batsmen were
blown away by Steyn and the teenaged Parnell.
South Africa needed just 26.2 overs to level the five-match series
after being beaten by 141 runs in the opening clash in Durban on Friday.
Australia crashed to 19 for five before Callum Ferguson led a partial
recovery, making 50.
Steyn took four for 27 and the left-armed Parnell, 19, claimed four
for 25 in his second one-day international.
Steyn started the slide when he bowled Brad Haddin off an inside edge
with the sixth ball of the match.
