Series Context & Build-Up 

As the three-match ODI series stands, it is finely poised. South Africa surprised Australia by staking their claim with a comfortable 98-run win in the first ODI in Cairns. The second match in Mackay was also won by South Africa putting them ahead 2-0 in the series

Venue Details & Conditions

Venue: Great Barrier Reef Arena, Mackay (final two ODIs of the series)

Date & Time: 24 August 2025, starting at 2:30 PM local time (04:30 AM GMT)

Pitch & Conditions: The Mackay venue offers a coastal, batting-friendly surface with mild breezes and stable weather. This is in contrast to the tropical extremes of Darwin and Cairns.

Expect the typical conditions of northern Australia in August, which are hot and humid, which will really test players’ physical endurance and adaptability of their tactics.

Team Form & Key Players

Australia

After their major loss in the previous ODI they are aiming for a redemption this time around. They rely heavily on the experience of players like captain Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head, and Marnus Labuschagne. The pace will be directed by Josh Hazlewood and leg spin from Adam Zampa.

South Africa

Riding high on confidence after a dominant opening victory. Aiden Markram, Matthew Breetzke, and the spinner Keshav Maharaj, who we know ran through the middle order of Australia, are some of the key players. Due to an ankle issue, however, Kagiso Rabada is currently on the sidelines.The team is waiting for a formal assessment after the spinner Prenel Subrayen withdrew from bowling duties after reports of suspect action.

Match Preview & Tactical Battle

This decider stakes everything on execution:

• Australia must rebuild trust in their middle order and leverage home batting conditions to set a competitive total.
   
• South Africa will aim to continue exploiting spin-friendly patches and target Australia’s weakened bowling depth.

Watch for key phases like batting Powerplays and death-over strategies, these will likely determine who comes out on top.
