AUS vs SA Prediction for South Africa tour of Australia, 2025 3rd ODI Preview: The South Africa tour of Australia, 2025 tour kicked off on 10th August, and today is going to be the last match of the ODI series between the two. After competing in the T20s, the teams faced each other in the ODI format of the game during the bilateral tour. The 3rd ODI match of the South Africa tour of Australia will see Australia face visiting South Africa on Sunday, August 24, at 10:00 AM
Australia started this tour well by winning the T20I series 2-1, but the ODI matches have been a very different story. South Africa have outplayed the home side in both game, winning it by large margins and taking the series with one match left. In the first ODI at Cairns, South Africa posted a strong total and bowled with discipline to seal a 98-run win. The second ODI in Mackay followed a similar script. Lungi Ngidi was the standout with a five-wicket haul, while Burger struck early to remove Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne. Josh Inglis tried to hold the innings together with support from Cameron Green, but no one else contributed, and Australia fell short by 84 runs.
So, coming into this match, both teams will seek a win for different reasons. South Africa would look to end the tour winning it one-sidedly and be crowned as the ultimate champions, while Australia would look to end the tour on a respectful note. With this, fans can expect to see an intense and competitive match between the two. The AUS vs SA match is scheduled at Great Barrier Reef Arena, Mackay, on Sunday, 24th August, starting at 10:00 AM IST.
