South Africa struck back with a vengeance in the second one-day international against Australia at the WACA Ground on Sunday.
Proteas skipper AB de Villiers had vowed his side would be seeking redemption after being beaten by 32 runs in the series opener in Perth on Friday.
His team backed those words with a superb bowling display as the home side were dismissed for just 154 in 41.4 overs on what appeared a good batting wicket.
Towering paceman Morne Morkel led the way with 5-21, his second five-wicket haul in one-day internationals and career-best figures.
The South Africans made an impact with the ball from the outset, destroying the Australian top order to have the home side in deep trouble at 34-4.
It was Morkel who struck the first blow with David Warner caught down the leg side by wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock for a duck.
Warner was initially given not out, but replays showed clear contact with the glove and third umpire Nigel Llong overturned the initial decision.
Stand-in skipper George Bailey and emerging all-rounder Mitchell Marsh raised Australian hopes briefly when they added 58 for the fifth wicket before Bailey was brilliantly caught by a diving Faf du Plessis from the bowling of Vernon Philander (1-16) for 25.
Bailey was captaining Australia in the absence of Michael Clarke, who was ruled out of the remainder of the series with a recurrence of a left hamstring problem during his team's opening victory.
Marsh was the only Australian batsman to offer significant resistance, compiling 67 from 88 balls.
A contentious third umpire decision helped swing the game firmly back South Africa's way as Australia's middle order tried to rally after the poor start.
Australia were 125-5 when Matthew Wade was given not out caught down the leg side by wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock from the bowling of Morkel, but after lengthy deliberation the decision was overturned.
Morkel struck again without addition of the score, bowling Glenn Maxwell for a duck.
The giant South African quick then removed Mitchell Johnson, caught behind for three, to claim his fifth scalp for the innings as Australia slumped to 129-8.
