South Africa claimed a 2-1 bilateral ODI series victory against Australia despite suffering a 47-run DLS defeat in the final match at Senwes Park. Australia posted 322/9 after Mitchell Marsh smashed 56 off 33 balls and Alex Carey added 74, while Corbin Bosch claimed 4-60 for the hosts. Rain ultimately cut short South Africa's innings at 145/4 after 28 overs, leaving them well short of the DLS par score of 192.
South Africa made five changes after already securing the series, resting captain Temba Bavuma, David Miller, and Marco Jansen. Ryan Rickelton led the hosts' chase with an unbeaten 71, but two wickets apiece from Xavier Bartlett and Adam Zampa kept Australia in control before weather intervened. Keshav Maharaj was named Player of the Series, with Carey taking Player of the Match honors.
