Although Australia won the T20I series, South Africa started the ODI series on a positive note as they defeated Australia bu 98 runs in the first ODI at Cairns. Australia won the toss and opted to bowl first. South Africa got a solid start from their top order with Aiden Markram, Temba Bavuma and Matthew Breetzke scoring half-centuries. Markram with his knock of 82 was the highest scorer of the lot. Despite a late collapse, the Proteas reached the mark of 296/8. Chasing it, Australia's chase went nowhere. They were down to 89/6 courtesy Keshav Maharaj's five-wicket haul and except for Mitchell Marsh's 88, no one else could put up a resistance. South Africa cleaned them up for 198 and secured a rather comfortable victory. Travis Head Stuns One and All As He Inflicts Bizarre Run Out of Prenelan Subrayen During AUS vs SA 1st ODI 2025 (Watch Video).
