Australia won the series 2-0, and their next match will be in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against the Indian side.
South Africa fought valiantly against Australia in the third Test at Sydney Cricket Ground, forcing a draw. The hosts needed 14 wickets for an unexpected victory and a clean sweep of the visitors but only managed six as the Proteas batting finally showed some grit. This meant that Australia would have to wait until their forthcoming series against India away from home to secure a spot in the World Test Championship final.
