Steve Smith endured multiple injury threats in Gqeberha
During the second Test match, which was at the St George's Park in Gqeberha, Steve Smith picked up a finger injury while fielding, forcing him to temporarily walk off the ground. Later in the same match in Gqeberha, on Day 4, he had some visible discomfort in his neck, which forced him to miss some parts of the match.
South Africa defeated Australia by an innings in Gqeberha
South Africa made a brilliant bounce in the series after being defeated in the first match. Australia won the first match in Durban by a massive 214-run margin. In the next game, Temba Bavuma's century put South Africa in a strong position, and they claimed 425 runs in their second innings.
Within a very limited time span, utilising the damp conditions, the Proteas bundled the Pat Cummins-led side for 99 runs in the first innings, and then they restricted the Aussies to 295 runs in the second. Therefore, the Proteas won the second Test by an innings and 31 runs and made the three-match series scoreline 1-1, with one more match to go.
