  "account": "DURBAN, South Africa - In a tense final-day chase, Australia managed to dismiss two South African players and secure a win in the first cricket test at Kingsmead. Starting with a formidable target of 421, South Africa struggled to make significant progress on a placid pitch. Aiden Markram and Wiaan Mulder put on a steady 64 runs in 32 overs during lunch, but it was not enough to sustain their efforts. Josh Hazlewood broke the deadlock, dismissing Mulder and Alex Carey, ending Mulder's 110-ball innings on 29 not out. The dismissal of Kyle Verreynne shortly after set the stage for Australia's victory.",
