[Donny]

"Mitch Marsh has continued his dream run as Australia's Twenty20 captain, punishing South Africa's bowlers for the second time in three days to rocket his side to a series-clinching eight-wicket win at Durban.

After thumping 92no in his captaincy debut in the first game, Marsh produced an equally swashbuckling encore, thumping an unbeaten 79 off 39 balls at Kingsmead on Friday night (Saturday morning AEST).

He made South Africa's 8-164 look completely inadequate as Australia sprinted to victory with 31 balls to spare, securing an unassailable 2-0 series lead."
