南非176分大胜澳大利亚：2比1夺系列赛并重返测试世界第一、Rabada创350个三柱门最快纪录
南非10月31日在 Cape Town 的 Newlands 球场以176分大胜澳大利亚，赢下三场测试系列赛的决胜场，以2比1夺得系列赛胜利，并自2016年1月以来首次重返测试板球世界排名第一。据路透社报道，澳大利亚在决胜日追逐288分的获胜目标，第二局只打出111分便全部出局，比赛在茶歇前结束。
南非旋转投球手 Simon Harmer 是决胜日的主角。他在第二局拿下6个三柱门、只失16分，创下个人生涯最佳；全场10个三柱门、失120分，也是他第一次在测试赛拿下全场十门。澳大利亚队长 Pat Cummins 用90个球守住11分作最后抵抗，最终也被 Harmer 以 lbw 方式淘汰；Harmer 随后投出 Josh Hazlewood 的三柱门，为比赛收尾。
快速投球手 Kagiso Rabada 则在决胜日开场就定下局面：他在第一轮投球里先后让 Matt Renshaw（0分）与 Marnus Labuschagne（4分）出局，随后又让 Travis Head 出局，由此完成个人第350个测试三柱门。Rabada 达到这一里程碑共投13,808个球，是历史上用球最少的投手，打破同胞 Dale Steyn 的14,719球与巴基斯坦投手 Waqar Younis 的14,905球旧纪录。他本局最终成绩为3个三柱门、失39分。
本场简要比分：南非第一局329分、第二局387分，澳大利亚第一局429分、第二局111分。澳大利亚曾在 Durban 赢下首场，南非在 Gqeberha 以一局和31分赢下第二场，最终在 Cape Town 完成逆转。
这场胜利也让南非保住明年卫冕世界测试锦标赛冠军的希望——他们在2025年的上一届决赛中正是在 Lord's 击败澳大利亚夺冠。
South Africa Thrash Australia by 176 Runs to Win Series 2-1 and Reclaim No. 1 Test Ranking as Rabada Reaches 350 Wickets in Record Time
South Africa thumped Australia by 176 runs at Newlands in Cape Town on October 31 to clinch their three-test series 2-1 and leapfrog Australia to the top of the test world rankings for the first time since January 2016, Reuters reported. Set a target of 288 for victory, the tourists were bowled out for 111 before tea on the final day.
Spinner Simon Harmer was the decisive figure. He took a career-best 6 for 16 in the second innings and finished with 10 for 120 in the match, his first ten-wicket haul in tests. Australia captain Pat Cummins resisted with 11 runs from 90 balls before Harmer trapped him lbw, and Harmer then bowled Josh Hazlewood to seal the win.
Fast bowler Kagiso Rabada had set the tone in the first over of the day, removing Matt Renshaw for a duck and Marnus Labuschagne for 4, before dismissing Travis Head to reach 350 test wickets. Rabada got there in 13,808 deliveries, fewer than any bowler in history, beating compatriot Dale Steyn's 14,719 and Pakistan's Waqar Younis's 14,905. He finished the innings with 3 for 39.
Brief scores: South Africa 329 and 387, Australia 429 and 111. Australia had won the first test in Durban, South Africa answered with an innings-and-31-run win in Gqeberha, and the hosts completed the comeback in Cape Town.
The victory also keeps alive South Africa's hopes of defending their World Test Championship title next year, having beaten Australia in the previous decider at Lord's in 2025.
