This was one of the most incredible ODI chases of all-time. The match was on March 12, 2006 at Johannesburg, where South Africa were playing world champions Australia in the final match of a 5-match series which was level at 2-2.

Australia batted first and piled up a massive 434/4 in 50 overs, with captain Ricky Ponting playing one of the finest ODI knocks ever, scoring 164 runs off 105 balls. Even the rest of the batsmen were striking the ball exceptionally well, on a flat pitch at the Wanderers.

South Africa started miserably, losing opener Boeta Dippenear early. But Graeme Smith and Herschelle Gibbs launched a breathtaking counter-attack against a weakened Australian bowling unit. Smith was eventually dismissed for a 55-ball 90, while Gibbs bettered Ponting’s effort with a 111-ball 175, hitting Australia’s bowlers to all parts of the ground and clearing the fence seven times.

Although there was a mini collapse, but Mark Boucher had a cool enough head to hit a memorable and quickfire 50 off just 43 balls, hitting Brett Lee for a four as winning runs for the side.

This will go down as an all-time great ODI match to watch, as Australia lost despite having 434 runs to defend.

In the context of.the game the only way that could have been any better is if Dippenaar had got a first baller. Dippenaar was never going to feature in a run chase like that.
