After a dramatic finish to the T20I series, Australia and South Africa will lock horns in the first ODI of the three-match series on Tuesday in Cairns.
On Saturday, Australia registered a thrilling two-wicket victory to seal the T20I series 2-1. Glenn Maxwell turned the match on its head with an unbeaten 62 off 36 balls.
The hosts will turn their focus to the three-match ODI series now, which is Australia's first ODI series after the disappointing Champions Trophy semi-final loss against India.
South Africa, meanwhile, will be aiming to turn things around in the ODI leg. They played their last ODI match against New Zealand in the Champions Trophy semi-final, where they were knocked out after a 50-run defeat.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
