Kagiso Rabada took two of the six wickets to fall on the final day of the Proteas' only warm-up match against a Cricket Australia XI as the four-day game ended in a draw in Brisbane on Monday.
Having declared on their overnight total on 304-8, the tourists set their hosts a target of 426 and they reached 184-6 in 58 overs when the two captains shook hands before tea on the fourth afternoon.
Fast bowler Rabada had bagged two for 22 in six overs, with fellow pacemen Lungi Ngidi (5-1-9-1), Anrich Nortje (5-0-13-0) and Gerald Coetzee (6-0-13-0) also impressing.
Peter Handscomb, captain and top-scorer for the home side, retired with 48, with the other two wickets falling to Simon Harmer (1/65) and Keshav Maharaj (1/37).
The match at Allan Border Field was the only warm-up fixture for the Proteas ahead of the first game of their three-match Test series that starts at The Gabba on 17 December.
