Fresh from a three-match T20 series in which they emerged 2-1 winners, Australia will hope for further success against South Africa. Steven Smith and Glenn Maxwell – the hero in the recent T20 series – have retired from 50-over cricket, though, and with Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc sitting the series out it's time for a new generation to stand up.

Cooper Connolly, Aaron Hardie and Matt Kuhnemann will all have chances to impress along with Marnus Labuschagne, who will have half an eye on the upcoming Ashes against England.

For South Africa, 22-year-old batter Dewald Brevis is likely to be rewarded for his starring role in the T20s with a spot in the lower order to add some beefy hitting. Captain Temba Bavuma has confirmed he'll bat at three this series, while all-rounder Wiaan Mulder will look to improve his figures with both bat and ball in ODI cricket.

This is the start of the rebuild for both sides ahead of the 2027 World Cup, so make sure you don't miss how both sides go about in this fascinating three-match series.
