Australia, on the other hand, have to ponder replacements for two stalwarts who retired after the 2025 Champions Trophy. Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell both called time on their career after Australia’s semi-final defeat to India. Cameron Green is back in the squad though and could slot in at No.3 or in the middle order. It remains to be seen if Australia will let Josh Hazlewood play this game considering he had played all three T20Is.

Maphaka may have to wait for his ODI debut, considering the availabity of Nandre Burger, but that will not be the case for Brevis. Temba Bavuma returns to lead South Africa, with his last piece of action being lifting the World Test Championship mace after beating the same opposition he will be facing on Tuesday.

Australia squad: Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh(c), Cameron Green, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis(w), Aaron Hardie, Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis, Josh Hazlewood, Adam Zampa, Nathan Ellis, Matthew Kuhnemann, Alex Carey, Xavier Bartlett

South Africa squad: Temba Bavuma(c), Ryan Rickelton(w), Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Aiden Markram, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, Wiaan Mulder, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Nandre Burger, Matthew Breetzke, Senuran Muthusamy, Tony de Zorzi, Corbin Bosch, Prenelan Subrayen, Kwena Maphaka
