AUS vs SA Dream11 Team Prediction for South Africa tour of Australia 2025 Preview: The 2nd ODI of the ongoing South Africa tour of Australia 2025 will be played on August 22 in Mackay. The Proteas won the first ODI by 98 runs. For the first time in many years, spinners were the difference from both sides. The Aussie spinner, Adam Zampa brought some semblance of control while Keshav Maharaj, who was excluded from the T20I setup, made a strong statement with a fifer.
The World Test Championship 2025 winner produced a classical left-arm spin bowling in which the opposition batters had no clue. Maharaj was helped by the fact that the Cairns pitch was dry enough to grip. This could be a case in Mackay, which might tempt the home side to go with Cooper Connolly. This is a must-win game for the ODI champions to keep the series alive. This is a three-match series.
