Aussie could have bottled the chase but Rabada messed up 18th over. No ball, juicy full toss, outside off stump line and Maxwell punished him.

Next over (19th) was way too good for death bowling and south Africa almost pulled back but again game was lost in Rabada's previous over. Things could have been tricky even for Maxwell if RR was around 15.

Yeah. Rabada succumbed to the pressure at the end which was uncharacteristic of him considering his experience and the fact that Maxwell was their last proper batsman remaining. Bosch was epic at the end.

They tried hard to remove the remaining tail enders, but Maxwell managed to solve that issue somehow. Crazy final!

Maxwell showing that he's up for another t-20 wc, considering he took retirement from ODI and this is new look Aussie side (t-20).

Overall, I am not much into white ball bilaterals but think they could have pushed this series as 5 t-20 match series, it was building up nicely due to fireworks, some fine hitting performance in last 2 matches.
