  "summary": "South Africa secured a 2-1 series victory over Australia after winning the third Test at Newlands by 176 runs. Chasing a target of 288, Australia was bowled out for 111 on Saturday. According to the Daily Times, spinner Simon Harmer recorded a career-best 6-16, while Kagiso Rabada became the fastest bowler to reach 350 Test wickets.\n\nThe loss propelled South Africa above Australia in the International Cricket Council Test rankings. Following the defeat, the New Straits Times reported that former player David Warner criticized the Australian batting performance as \"disgraceful\" and \"deplorable,\" noting a lack of fight during the run chase. The series loss follows an earlier nine-wicket Test defeat for Australia against Bangladesh in August.",
