South Africa 277 (Breetzke 88, Stubbs 74, Zampa 3-63) beat Australia 193 (Inglis 87, Ngidi 5-42) by 84 runs
South Africa completed a fifth successive bilateral ODI series win over Australia, dating back to 2016, and this one, with a game to spare.

Half-centuries from Matthew Breetzke and Tristan Stubbs, who also shared in an 89-run fourth wicket stand, took South Africa to a competitive total on 277, with Breetzke becoming the first player in men's ODI history to pass 50 in his first four ODI matches. Nandre Burger and Lungi Ngidi then led the way in defence. Ngidi was player of the match with 5 for 42, his second five-for in ODIs and second against Australia.
