Stand-in captain Aidan Markram won the toss and elected to bat Friday in the second one-day cricket international as South Africa bid to clinch the series in Australia. South Africa rested its regular captain Temba Bavuma as part of his workload management and Cricket South Africa said he will be available to lead the side in the last game of the series on Sunday.

Australia piled up 431 for 2, just shy of their ODI record 434, in a dominant batting display. Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh and Cameron Green struck centuries in the first innings. South Africa's batting lineup was wrapped up on just 155 runs,

The same squad will also feature in a three-match ODI series against South Africa, scheduled at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore from September 16 to 22.
