Australia vs South Africa 2nd ODI playing 11, live toss time and streaming

The ODI battle between Australia and South Africa shifts to the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay today, where the second match of the three-game series is set to unfold. With South Africa holding a 1-0 advantage after their commanding win in the opener, the pressure is firmly on the home side to respond and stay in the hunt. Luck at the toss favoured the visitors once again, and acting captain Aiden Markram—stepping in for the unavailable Temba Bavuma—chose to set the tone by batting first.

 

South Africa have a golden chance to seal the series in Mackay after their all-round display in the first ODI. Their batting unit looked in fine touch, with Aiden Markram, Temba Bavuma, and Matthew Breetzke all scoring fluent half-centuries. The star of the show, however, was left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj, who dismantled the Australian batting order with his maiden five-wicket haul in ODIs, ensuring the visitors defended their total comfortably. 

 

 

Australia, on the other hand, were bowled out for just 198 in the 41st over, exposing their continued struggle against quality spin. The absence of seasoned campaigners such as Steve Smith, Marcus Stoinis, and Glenn Maxwell—all of whom have retired from ODIs—was clearly felt, leaving the onus on the new-look middle order to step up. For the hosts, this match is not only about bouncing back but also about proving that their next generation of batters can shoulder responsibility under pressure.

 

With the series on the line, expect Australia to come hard at the Proteas, while South Africa will look to ride their momentum and clinch a memorable series win with one game to spare.
