Labuschagne replaced Cameron Green, hit on the head by a rising delivery from Kagiso Rabada, and made a match-winning 80 not out to see Australia to its target of 222.
Marnus Labuschagne came on as a concussion cover to steer Australia to a three- gate palm over South Africa in a one- day transnational on Thursday, leaving Australia’s pickers with allowing to do ahead of coming month’s World Cup in India.
Labuschagne replaced Cameron Green, hit on the head by a rising delivery from Kagiso Rabada, and made a match- winning 80 not out to see Australia to its target after putting South Africa into club and dismissing it for 222.
Australia, which secured palm with nine overs to spare, had been in serious trouble at 113- 7 as it despoiled early runs but also lost a steady sluice of lattices.
Labuschagne was the first ever Test concussion cover at Lord’s in the 2019 Ashes, when he replaced Steve Smith and made 59, and looked at ease when he took over from Green.
Labuschagne’s unbeaten 112- run eighth- gate cooperation with Ashton Agar guided Australia to palm in the first game of the five- match series and reminded the Australian pickers, who left him out of the World Cup team, of his prowess.
His innings squeezed the energy out of an agitated home attack, who had early raids as it looked to defend a modest aggregate. Agar contributed 48 not out.
Before, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma finished on 114 not out to come only the alternate South African to carry his club through an ODI innings.
Nature Quinton de Kock and big blockbuster Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller all failed to get going with the destructive Miller out alternate ball with an edge to wicketkeeper Alex Carey off Josh Hazelwood, who took 3- 41.
All- rounder Marco Jansen helped Bavuma undergird the innings in 57- run sixth- gate cooperation before he was sailed by Hazelwood for 32. Know More Latest Cricket News…
