Kyle Abbott took 6-77 as South Africa completed an innings and 80-run
humiliation of Australia in Hobart on Tuesday Nov 15,2016 to seal the three-match
series with a game to spare.
Handed a rare opportunity with Dale Steyn injured, the 29-year-old Man of the Match grabbed four wickets in the morning at Bellerive Oval as Australia lost eight wickets for 40 runs and were dismissed for 161 before lunch on day four.
Resurgent South Africa, who won the series-opener in Perth by 177 runs, will head into their first day-night test match in Adelaide next week confident they can sweep their demoralised opponents.
“All our bowlers were exceptional,” said Faf du Plessis, triumphant as stand-in captain for the injured AB De Villiers.
