Australia batters finally found the going easy today in the third and final ODI against South Africa. After winning the toss, their openers, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh, plundered the under-strength bowling attack of the visitors to smash records for fun. The duo added a staggering 250 runs for the opening wicket, just falling short of the all-time record for Australia by 34 runs. The 250-run partnership is the highest ever opening stand against South Africa as the Marsh-Head duo broke the 22-year-old record.
