Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam claims second 10-wicket haul in Tests to help set up 150-run victory
Australia's Adam Zampa suffered the ignominy of equalling the joint-worst bowling figures in one-day international cricket as the tourists were dealt a heavy 164-run defeat by South Africa at Centurion Park in Gauteng, on Friday.
The leg-spinner, who has styled himself on legendary Australian spinner Shane Warne, was hit for 113 from his 10 overs as South Africa smashed 416-5, their second-highest ODI score against Australia.
Zampa joined Mark Lewis at the top of the Hall of Shame, the Australian having also been punished for 113 runs without taking a wicket vs. South Africa in 2006.
Australia's World Cup campaign in India starts on 8 October against hosts India in Kolkotta with South Africa's tournament starting a day earlier against Sri Lanka in Delhi.
Heinrich Klaasen bludgeoned the ball to all corners in a blistering knock of 174 to lead South Africa to a comprehensive victory and level the five-match one-day series to 2-2 on Friday.
Klaasen hit 13 sixes in an awe-inspiring display of power hitting to help South Africa to a total of 416-5 – their second-highest against Australia – after they had been put into bat.
Australia replied with 252 in 34.5 overs and the disappointment of defeat will be multiplied by a hand injury to opener Travis Head that could rule him out of the World Cup.
The series will be set at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Sunday.
