Cricket News: South Africa end tournament on a high

It came six weeks too late but the South Africa of old - the ruthless, dominant side which has been a force to reckon with in world cricket - was on display as they bowed out of the ICC World Cup 2019 with a 10-run win over Australia. It wasn't as straightforward though as David Warner and Alex Carey threatened to take the game away but the Proteas held their nerves to end on a winning note. Led by Faf du Plessis' 100 and Rassie van der Dussen's 95, South Africa amassed 325/6 in their 50 overs. The bowlers then did the job efficiently but Warner, who has hardly put a foot wrong in the whole tournament smoked his 17th ODI ton yet wasn't able to take his side over line. They eventually were restricted to 315 in 49.5 overs and lost the game by just 10 runs.
