Here is how South Africa bowled against Australia in tri series played in Zimabwe .
In the tri series maximum boundaries came in last phase
Power play (0-10) performance
In the tri-series the Power play has not been very fruitful for South Africans. On the onset opening batsman go on rampage. Hence including Phillander to open the bowling in Australia was a good choice. In the tri series they had average performance.
