Head’s innings was typical of the aggressive approach of the Australian batsmen who dominated in all three matches.
“The strength we’ve got in this team is to put pressure on the bowlers,” Head said at the match presentation after being named player of the match.
Australia captain Mitchell Marsh was named Player of the Series after scoring 186 runs off 100 balls and being dismissed only once in three matches.
Marsh said, “It wasn’t just me, it was a collective effort.”
South Africa fared slightly better after trailing in the first two matches, with newcomer Donovan Ferreira scoring 48 off 21 balls at the end of the innings to take the hosts to a competitive score.
