SA vs AUS Match Preview:
South Africa will meet Australia in the second ODI of the three-match series on 27 September 2026 at 1:30 PM IST at the DP World Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. South Africa hold a 1–0 series lead after securing a 67-run victory in the opening ODI in Durban. Consequently, Australia must respond strongly in Johannesburg to keep the series alive, while South Africa will look to extend their advantage and move closer to a series win.
The first ODI saw South Africa post 297/8 in 50 overs after Australia chose to bowl first. Matthew Breetzke produced an outstanding 112 off 106 balls, while Marco Jansen added 75 off 59 to provide a powerful finish. For Australia, Nathan Ellis led the bowling attack with 3/57, while Adam Zampa claimed 2/50. Australia began the chase aggressively, with Mitchell Marsh smashing 60 off 36, but South Africa eventually bowled them out for 230 in 41.2 overs. Matt Renshaw scored 44 off 49, Travis Head made 36 off 37, and Cooper Connolly contributed 38 off 42. South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj dominated with 4/20 from 9.2 overs, while Corbin Bosch took 2/67 and Bjorn Fortuin claimed 2/34.
The opening contest showed South Africa’s ability to recover after they reached 168/5, with the Breetzke-Jansen partnership supplying the late acceleration that lifted the total to 297. Australia also made a strong start at 129/2, but South Africa struck back and removed their final eight wickets for only 101 runs. Moreover, the spin combination of Maharaj and Fortuin accounted for six wickets, while Jansen also contributed with the ball and held four catches. As the series moves to Johannesburg, Australia will aim to turn promising starts into substantial partnerships, whereas South Africa will seek to maintain the pressure that earned them the opening victory.
