9.25pm: It was Clinical Miller in the end, a superbly judged innings to get South Africa home. Faf du Plessis' side are on a roll in the shortest format, this their fifth win in a row, and they look to be warming up nicely for the World T20. Australia, well, they made a bit of a pavlova of this one, sweet and tasty up front but soft in the middle; this is also their fifth straight T20 defeat, leaving Steven Smith with some thinking to do. Anyway, that's your lot, unfortunately, as we're not getting the presentations. David Miller was my Man of the Match, which is really all that matters... We'll be back for more on Sunday, until then it's toodles from Gnasher and me. Thanks for your comments. Ta ra!
Here's Tiaan, letting off steam: "yyyyyyyyeeeeeeessssss! The last 3 out of 4 Friday nights has shortened my life WELL DONE PROTEAS!!! THE PROTEA FIRE BUUURRRRNS!!!"
And Steven Scott brings us the view from the other side: "As an Aussie, I am relieved we don't have to play the qualifying round for world t20. That is how bad we are right now."
"How does this work? Aus got AB for a diamond duck, QDK out for a low score, 2 bizarre runout both involving Miller, and yet SA won." It truly is a funny old game, Satya...
Wicket makes it interesting?
"Itching for a super over now :P," hoots kuber
Andrew Tye will bowl out, Australia have to defend five. Where's your hard-earned?

But will it be the match-winner? Not quite no more distance left to run for SA...
"Be smart, guys. Just singles to win it!" murmurs Neville Smeda, from behind the couch
Has Miller sealed the chase? Adam Zampa back on for the penultimate over, 10 needed from 12

Can Abbott nick a single to get off strike? It's a perversity of this SA line-up that they bat deep and have quite a long tail
John Hastings back, three overs to go

"@Gautam: Will you reconsider what you said earlier about the 'C' word ??" enquires Vasanth, innocently
Kyle Abbott toddles out, another twist in the plot
