Eyes on weather as Australia look to avoid clean sweep against South Africa

South Africa have clinched their home ODI series against Australia with a match to spare, heading into the final fixture in Potchefstroom aiming for a clean sweep. Australia enter the contest seeking to avoid another series whitewash in South Africa, while also navigating their final ODI in conditions similar to the upcoming 2027 World Cup.

Australia's lineup has struggled notably against left-arm spin, particularly Keshav Maharaj, who leads the series wickets with an economy rate of 3.82. Australia's selection options remain restricted due to an injury to Josh Inglis, while South Africa may rotate out key Test players ahead of next month's series.
