SA vs AUS Match Preview:
South Africa will meet Australia in the third and final ODI of Australia’s tour of South Africa 2026 on 30 September 2026 at 4:30 PM IST at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom. The hosts have already wrapped up the series by winning the first two matches, including a 32-run victory in Johannesburg. As a result, South Africa now have the opportunity to complete a 3–0 sweep, while Australia will aim to finish the series on a positive note after slipping 2–0 behind.
In the second ODI at The Wanderers Stadium, South Africa posted 365/9 in 50 overs after Australia chose to bowl first. David Miller produced a career-best 142 from 93 balls, hitting 12 fours and nine sixes, while Temba Bavuma added 103 off 116 and Matthew Breetzke contributed 34 from 28. Jack Edwards led Australia’s bowling effort with 5/67, and Josh Hazlewood claimed 3/70.
Australia then fought back to 333 all out in 49.5 overs, with Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head scoring 84 each, while Xavier Bartlett added a quick 50 off 28. Lizaad Williams took 3/54 for South Africa, with Keshav Maharaj and Marco Jansen taking two wickets apiece, as the hosts secured a 32-run win.
The second match also brought out the different strengths of both teams. South Africa built their imposing total around the Bavuma–Miller partnership, before Miller’s powerful finish pushed the score beyond 360. Australia, meanwhile, started their chase confidently through Marsh and Head but lost important wickets in the middle and final stages.
Across the first two ODIs, Miller leads the series scoring with 151 runs, followed by Matthew Breetzke on 146, Mitchell Marsh on 144 and Temba Bavuma on 133. With the ball, Keshav Maharaj has taken six wickets, while Josh Hazlewood has four. Therefore, the final ODI gives Australia an opportunity to claim a win, whereas South Africa can complete the series sweep on home soil.
