Steyn, Du Plessis seal SA victory

HARARE, Sept 7 (AFP): Dale Steyn ripped the heart out of Australia's batting and Faf du Plessis came within a whisker of yet another century as South Africa cruised to a six-wicket victory to clinch the triangular series cricket trophy Saturday.
Steyn swung the ball at pace to rip out three quick wickets and record figures of 4 for 35 as Australia were limited to 217 for nine.
Du Plessis then fell four runs short of what would have been his fourth hundred of the series as the Proteas chased down their target with 55 balls to spare in front of a packed Harare Sports Club.
Although Du Plessis was the obvious man of the series for his 464 runs in five innings, Steyn was the clear man of the match.
South Africa 221 for 4 (du Plessis 96, de Villiers 57*) beat Australia 217 for 9 (Faulkner 40, Steyn 4-35) by six wickets.
