The marquee three-match ODI series between Australia and South Africa will kick off on August 10 in Darwin. The series marks the start of Australia’s preparation for the 2026 T20 World Cup and the 2027 ODI World Cup. The Proteas, on the other hand, have been active in the white-ball circuit as of late, having played a tri-series final against New Zealand recently.
However, all the South Africa senior cricketers, except David Miller, have joined the squad this time. The same cannot be said about the hosts, who have given rest to Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins from both ODIs and T20Is. Regardless, an interesting series is up for grabs as Australia vs South Africa has always been about the bragging rights.
