Vernon Philander took a career-best 6-21 as South Africa emphatically beat Australia in the fourth Test to win the controversial four-game series 3-1.

Australia was without the banned Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft after the ball-tampering scandal that marred the third Test.

The tourists were 88-5 going into day five and meekly collapsed to 119 all out to lose by 492 runs.

The series win was South Africa’s first over Australia at home since 1970.

Meanwhile, hosts Jamaica saw their title hopes dashed after crashing to a four-run defeat to Guyana in their crucial Regional Under-15 cricket match at Port Esquivel Sports Club yesterday.

Guyana, with their fourth consecutive win, now move to 24 points atop the standings after the penultimate round of games. Jamaica remain on 12 points.
