#4. South Africa in Australia ODI series, 2008-09
Loss margin: 4-1
The start to the five-match ODI series was a fantastic one as the visitors managed to complete a tense chase of 271 runs with the help of timely contribution of 40 runs in 18 balls from Albie Morkel. The hosts made a comeback by winning the equally tense low scoring second ODI match by 5 runs.
From there, everything went downhill for the Australian team, as they lost the remaining matches by 3 wickets, 8 wickets, and 39 runs respectively. Though the hosts managed to put up a fight in every match of the series, it was just that they were not able to win the matches.
