South Africa is set to welcome Australia for a three-match one-day international series running from September 24 through September 30, 2026. Matches will take place across Durban, Johannesburg, and Potchefstroom, followed by a three-match Test series in October.
Both squads faced last-minute roster adjustments due to injuries among their pace bowling ranks. Ottneil Baartman and Lungi Ngidi dropped out for the hosts, making room for Duan Jansen and Nqobani Mokoena, while the visitors brought in Jack Edwards after losing Billy Stanlake and Spencer Johnson.
Historically, the two nations sit atop the all-time men's ODI win-loss standings, with South Africa holding a slight 57-52 head-to-head advantage. During their previous home 50-over series against Australia in September 2023, the Proteas secured a 3-2 victory.
The upcoming fixtures open at Kingsmead in Durban, proceed to the New Wanderers in Johannesburg, and conclude at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom.
