South Africa vs Australia Score, 1st ODI of Australia vs South Africa 2025

OUT! Bowled. Lungi Ngidi to Adam Zampa. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, inside edge. Lungi Ngidi finishes things off! South Africa bowl out Australia for just 198 runs. Australia began their innings positively, scoring 50 runs in the first five overs. However, once the spinners entered the attack, they quickly took control of the game. Keshav Maharaj, in particular, excelled against the Australian batters and claimed an impressive five-wicket haul. The partnership between Mitch Marsh and Ben Dwarshuis halted the collapse but once that was broken the result was never really in doubt. Keshav Maharaj is named the Player of the Match.
