Connolly`s magic with the ball left South Africa facing a 276-run defeat, their biggest loss margin in terms of runs. Cameron Green joined the party, played his heart out, and made a handsome contribution to the prevailing blitzkrieg

In the third and the final ODI match, South Africa`s Wiaan Mulder hit a new low, whereas Australia`s Cooper Connolly registered a new record to his name.
Batting first, the Aussies posted a total of 431 runs for the loss of just two wickets in 50 overs. For South Africa, Mulder bowled seven overs and conceded 93 runs, with an economy of 13.29.
His economy is the second-poorest in ODIs among players who have bowled a minimum of six overs. Mulder comes behind Ireland`s Kevin O`Brien`s economy of 13.57, which he achieved against South Africa in 2015.
