Head 91 leads Australia to T20 series sweep of South Africa

The Hindu  

Left-handed opener Travis Head smashed a career-best 91 from 48 balls to lead Australia to a five-wicket win and a clean sweep of its three-match Twenty20 International series against host South Africa in Durban on Sunday. Australia dominated all three games against a depleted home side on the small Kingsmead ground and was the better side with bat, ball and in the field, where South Africa was sloppy. “We had a great team effort this tour, we prepared well and took the game on,” new Australia T20 captain Mitch Marsh said at the post-match presentation. “We are building towards next year’s World Cup and I am really pleased with the players who have come into the team and stepped up.” Debutant middle-order batsman Donovan Ferreira top-scored for South Africa with 48 from 21 balls before he was run out trying to pinch the strike in the final over.
