Australia had posted a record-breaking 434/4, with Ricky Ponting smashing a magnificent century. The target looked virtually unreachable. But South Africa's response was nothing short of unbelievable. After the early dismissal of Boeta Dippenaar, Graeme Smith took control, smashing 90 from just 55 balls and combining with Herschelle Gibbs for a sensational 187-run partnership from only 121 balls. Then came one of the greatest ODI innings ever. Herschelle Gibbs exploded for 175 from just 111 balls, including 21 sixes, destroying Australia's attack and keeping South Africa firmly in the chase. Even after Gibbs was dismissed, Johan van der Wath reignited the chase with a stunning late assault. With South Africa needing 7 runs from the final over, Brett Lee had the ball and two wickets remained. Andrew Hall smashed a boundary. Then he was caught. Two runs were needed. Makhaya Ntini got the scores level with a deflection to third man. And then came the moment... Mark Boucher lofted Brett Lee over mid-on for FOUR! South Africa had chased 435, completing the highest successful run chase in ODI history at the time and producing one of the most breathtaking finishes cricket has ever witnessed. A match featuring 869 runs, 87 fours, 26 sixes, extraordinary batting, dropped catches and an unbelievable final-over finish. One of the greatest ODI matches ever played.
