Rabada and Harmer share six as South Africa close in on 2-1 series win
Australia lost seven wickets in the opening session of the fifth day and are in danger of being bowled out for under 100 for a second time in the series
Michael Clarke holds the distinction of being the last Australian captain to secure a Test series victory in South Africa. Since 1902, there have been 10 Test series wins for Australia in South Africa, achieved under nine different captains. Pat Cummins and the current Australian team now face the prospect of another series defeat, following a precarious 59/6 score on the final day in Cape Town.
This situation echoes the 2018 series loss, which occurred shortly after the ball-tampering controversy at the same venue. An overview of Australian captains who have won Test series in South Africa is provided below.
