Posted July 9, 2011 19:04:00

Phillip Hughes and David Warner starred for Australia A in a two-run win in its one-day match against South Africa A in Harare.

The pair, left out of Australia's one-day squad for next month's tour of Sri Lanka, combined for a 206-run opening partnership as Australia A posted 6 for 293 from its 50 overs.

South Africa A was then dismissed for 291 in reply, with Mitch Marsh taking 4 for 56.

Hughes, who could replace Simon Katich as Test opener, put in a man-of-the-match performance smashing 137 from as many balls.

Warner also contributed to the early attacking, hitting 120 from 137.

Australia A plays a two-day tour match starting on Monday, before two four-day games against Zimbabwe to finish the tour.
