Rajneesh Gupta
March 13, 2006

A plethora of records were broken and new records set in the fifth and final one-dayer between South Africa and Australia at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Sunday.

Australia became the first team to cross the 400-run barrier in one-dayers, when, batting first, they put up 434-4 in their 50 overs.

South Africa, however, surprised everyone by achieving the mammoth target off the penultimate ball of the match. The hosts scored 438 for 9 in 49.5 overs to snatch victory in a thrilling finish and win the one-day series 3-2.

We take a look at some of the major records of this match:
