It is difficult, but it's not known as a pitch that degrades like others. For those that aren't tall enough to exploit the bounce, it would probably be easier after 3 days for batting. Still a fantastic chase.

He's a better test batsman than the so called test specialists like Pujara and a better T20 batsman than the T20 specialists like the big hitters from West Indies. And of course he's the best ODI batsman of all time and that's what makes him so special
Second highest chase ever. Coincidentally West Indies chased 418, also against Australia. South Africa chased a record 435 also against Australia in an ODI and SA also holds the T20 run chase record of 259. I see patterns here.
Woww. SA chased down 400+ in fourth innings against Australia in Australia. Great Stuff
Just AB things
Yeah I also surprise
pitches are similar in sa and aus so it is easy for them.
That too in perth
Ali Faizan actually SA did that a lot a few years ago. I think they beat India twice in their own backyard around the same time.
Probably the most humble cricketer of our generation. He deserved the World Cup.
