Travis Head thrashed South Africa, scored a century in 80 balls; sent the ball across the boundary 22 times

Travis Head defeated South Africa in the third ODI. He completed his century in 80 balls, while he sent the ball across the boundary 22 times. Not many runs came from his bat in the first two matches.

After a disappointing performance in the first two matches of the 3-match ODI series against South Africa, the Australian cricket team made a tremendous comeback in the third and final ODI against South Africa. The heroes of this comeback were star batsman Travis Head and captain Mitchell Marsh, who broke the back of the African bowlers with their explosive batting. Later Cameron Green and Alex Carey also burst out. Travis Head completed his seventh ODI century in just 80 balls in the last match of the series, which is a great example of his aggressive playing style.

Travis Head showed speed from the beginning in his innings and entertained the fans by hitting shots all around the field. He sent the ball outside the boundary a total of 22 times in his century innings. 17 brilliant fours and 5 skyscraper sixes came out of Head's bat. His strike rate in this innings was 137.86. This innings of Travis Head not only boosted the morale of the team, but also gave Australia a sense of relief after two consecutive defeats in the series. After almost a year, a century has come from his bat in ODI cricket and he has shown why he is considered one of the most dangerous openers in the world.

This match will definitely boost the morale of the team before the upcoming ODI series against India, because the point to be noted here is that in the first two matches of the series, the Australian team could not even cross the 200-run mark. Their batting was constantly failing in run chases, but in the third match the team adopted an aggressive approach. Every batsman showed intent, due to which the team is moving towards a huge score of more than 400 runs till the time of writing the news. In this match, the team showed that even though they have lost the series, they will not return empty-handed.
