Dale Steyn celebrating after picking up a wicket

Dale Steyn produced two dream deliveries to get rid of Aaron Finch and Glenn Maxwell from consecutive balls against Australia in the final of the triangular series in Zimbabwe.

Australia were doing reasonably well at 115/3 after 28 overs, with Finch having fought hard to get to his half-century. That was when Steyn decided it was time to reverse the ball which was now 14 overs old. The South African bowled two devastating deliveries to get rid of Finch, who was well set at the crease, and Maxwell, who was dismissed for a golden duck for the second time in his ODI career.

In the end, Australia managed to reach a modest 217/8 from 50 overs, with Steyn picking up figures of 4/35 from his 10 overs.

Australian captain Michael Clarke, who is missing the match through injury, tweeted his surprise at South Africa's premier fast bowler getting reverse-swing as early as the 29th over, considering that particular ball had been used for only 14 overs until that stage.
