Starc Takes Six as Australia Fight Back in South Africa Decider
Ackerman’s 95 and Aiden Markram’s 78 helped South Africa reach 329, but Mitchell Starc’s 6-72 sparked a late collapse.
- Australia captain Pat Cummins elected to field first against South Africa on Tuesday at Newlands in Cape Town, initiating the series-deciding third Test match.
- With the series locked at 1-1, both teams aim to win the decider to secure a vital advantage in the World Test Championship standings, following South Africa's 32-run victory in the second Test and Australia's 214-run opening win.
- Cameron Green returns to the Australian lineup after injury, while South Africa replaced injured pace bowler Anrich Nortje with Gerald Coetzee; Nathan Lyon also returned, dropping Scott Boland despite his five-wicket haul.
- South Africa captain Temba Bavuma emphasized the team's motivation to "right those wrongs" from the previous Australian series, saying "I don't feel I have to motivate anyone."
- Josh Hazlewood kept the South African batters in check early with figures of 0/7 across two overs, as openers Aiden Markram and Marques Ackerman faced the disciplined Australian pace attack.
