Harare: A magnificent unbeaten century from a cramping AB de Villiers carried South Africa to a seven-wicket victory over Australia in the second game of a one-day triangular series on Wednesday. De Villiers overcame fatigue and severe cramp in his left leg to hit 136 not out as South Africa chased down a target of 328 with 20 balls to spare.

The South African captain was brilliantly supported by Faf du Plessis, who scored his maiden one-day ton as he contributed 106 in a 206-run partnership for the third wicket. South Africa's task seemed formidable when they lost openers Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock with just 54 runs on the board, but De Villiers and Du Plessis made it look easy.
