South Africa won that match by 164 runs to level the series at 2-2 with Heinrich Klaasen smashing 174 in 83 balls. On Sunday Klaasen was bowled by Zampa for just 6.<\/p>\n

Australia captain Mitch Marsh hit 71 with six fours and six sixes, and Marnus Labuschagne struck a slower 44, in reply but the innings was undone by left-armer Jansen who claimed the top five batters for his first ODI five-for.<\/p>\n

Australia had threatened to sweep the ODI series \u2014 just as it had done for the three-match T20 contest \u2014 after wins in the opener and second ODI. But South Africa began its revival with a 111-run win in the third ODI.<\/p>\n
