Australia vs South Africa Match Analysis
Australia starts an ODI series without Steve Smith or Glenn Maxwell for the first time in years. They have retired from the format. Australia brings a balanced squad to the ODI series. They mix experienced players with young talent. However, the Aussies haven't had much luck in recent One-Day matches. Their last ODI was in March 2025. This happened during the ICC Champions Trophy semi-finals. India, led by Rohit Sharma, defeated them badly. Now Australia wants to start fresh after this long break. Meanwhile, Australia just beat South Africa in T20s. Glenn Maxwell was the star with 62 not out. The hosts chased down 173 with just one ball left. This dramatic win happened only three days before the ODI series.
South Africa has lost some key players recently. Sarel Erwee retired in the past few months. Heinrich Klaasen also ended his white-ball career. Meanwhile, Quinton de Kock's ODI exit still hurts the team. They miss him behind the stumps and at the top of the order.
Australia: Form
Australia's batting looks strong at the top. Travis Head, Josh Inglis, and Mitchell Marsh offer both reliability and attacking play. Then Marnus Labuschagne and Alex Carey will steady the middle order. Cameron Green should provide power-hitting in the final overs. The bowling attack also looks solid. Josh Hazlewood and Ben Dwarshuis will likely share the new ball duties. Hazlewood should take early wickets. Also, Nathan Ellis will probably be the third seamer after his good form against South Africa. For spin bowling, Adam Zampa and Matthew Kuhnemann will take charge. Especially Zampa has the skills to trouble South Africa's batsmen. His variations and control make him dangerous.
Australia Expected Eleven
Travis Head, Matt Short, Mitchell Marsh (C), Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis (WK), Mitchell Owen, Cameron Green, Alex Carey, Lance Morris, Josh Hazlewood, Adam Zampa
South Africa: Form
The Proteas have done okay in recent ODIs, though. They won two and lost two in their last five matches. Now, Temba Bavuma's side will face Mitchell Marsh's Australia. This should be another exciting contest. Fans will get their money's worth. Temba Bavuma returns as captain. Aiden Markram joins him in the team. Both players will anchor a young batting group. Dewald Brevis stood out in the T20 matches. He's set to make his ODI debut. He could be important if he plays like he did in the shorter format.
South Africa Expected Eleven
Temba Bavuma (captain), Ryan Rickelton (wicketkeeper), Matthew Breetzke, Aiden Markram, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, Wiaan Mulder, Keshav Maharaj, Nandre Burger, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi

Aiden Markram has an excellent record against Australia in ODIs. The current stats for the ODI victories between these two teams stand at 55-51. We're back at Cairns for this match.

That was an ODI series too. The bowlers got help back then. The highest score across six innings was only 267.
