Australia vs South Africa ODI Series 2025: Fixtures, Venue, Squad and More

As Australia and South Africa gear up for a high-stakes three-match ODI series beginning August 19, cricket fans in Bangladesh have more than a passing interest in the outcome. While the Tigers are not directly involved, the results of this series could influence the ICC ODI rankings, affecting Bangladesh’s own standing and potential seedings for upcoming global tournaments, including the 2027 ODI World Cup.

With both অস্ট্রেলিয়া and South Africa undergoing squad transitions, this series is a testing ground for younger players and new leadership combinations. Australia, missing stalwarts like Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell, are ushering in fresh talent under Mitchell Marsh’s captaincy. South Africa, on the other hand, is balancing youth with experience, introducing players like Dewald Brevis and Kwena Maphaka while welcoming back key figures such as Temba Bavuma and Keshav Maharaj.

For Bangladesh, who have had mixed results in recent ODIs, close attention will be paid to how these teams perform, especially as the ICC’s ranking points can shift with every match played among the top 10 sides. Victories for South Africa could push them up the ladder, potentially squeezing Bangladesh lower if results go against the Tigers in future series.
