Australia hosts South Africa for the third ODI at Great Barrier Reef Arena, Mackay, on August 24, 2025. South Africa has already sealed the series 2-0, highlighted by strong collective performances and a match-winning five-wicket haul from pacer Lungi Ngidi.
Australia, whose batting struggles have led to four consecutive sub-200 totals, will play for pride and look to bounce back at home. Although the hosts have no way back in the series, they would be aiming to finish it off with a victory.

Australia's team is missing Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, with Mitchell Marsh leading a youthful side in search of a consolation win. South Africa, bolstered by Temba Bavuma's likely return from hamstring workload management, aim for a clean sweep. Both teams have kept their line-ups fairly stable.
Australia: Mitchell Marsh (c), Travis Head, Cameron Green, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis, Alex Carey, Aaron Hardie, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.
South Africa: Aiden Markram (c), Ryan Rickelton, Matthew Breetzke, Temba Bavuma, Wiaan Mulder, Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis, Keshav Maharaj, Senuran Muthusamy, Lungi Ngidi, Nandre Burger.
