Stats - Records tumble in Mackay as Head, Marsh and Green batter South Africa

276 - Australia's margin of victory in the third ODI, the biggest defeat for South Africa in ODIs (by runs) going past the 243 runs they lost by in the 2023 World Cup to India. It is also the second-biggest margin of victory for Australia in ODIs, only behind the 309 runs against Netherlands in 2023.

It is also the fourth-biggest margin of victory by runs in ODIs among Full Member teams, with the top two spots taken by India followed by New Zealand at three.

431 for 2 - Australia's second-highest total in an ODI, bettered only by the 434 for 4 also against South Africa in Johannesburg in 2006.

Australia's total is also the highest in an ODI in Australia and the second-highest against South Africa behind that 434 for 4.

2 - Australia's top three of Head (142), Marsh (100) and Green (118*) scored centuries, making it only the second such instance in ODIs. The first was by South Africa against West Indies in Johannesburg in 2015.

250 - Head and Marsh's opening partnership, the fifth-highest in ODIs for Australia. The last Australia pair to stitch a double-century partnership for any wicket was by Maxwell and Pat Cummins for the eighth wicket in Mumbai in 2023.

431 - The runs added by the first three Australian wickets is also the second-highest in an ODI, only behind South Africa's 439 against West Indies in Johannesburg in 2015.

47 - Green took 47 balls to complete his maiden ODI century, the second-fastest by an Australia batter behind Glenn Maxwell's 40-ball effort against Netherlands in Delhi in the 2023 ODI world cup.

Green's 47-ball century is also the fastest against South Africa, bettering the 66-ball hundred by Matthew Hayden by some way.

12.14 - The scoring rate of the Green-Alex Carey partnership of 164 runs for the third wicket, the highest for Australia (min 150 runs), bettering the record of Maxwell and Shane Watson, who scored 160 at a rate of 11.70 against Sri Lanka in 2015.

13.28 - Wiaan Mulder's economy rate - the second-poorest in ODIs (six or more overs), behind Kevin O'Brien's 13.57 against South Africa in 2015.

22y 2d - Cooper Connolly's age when he took his maiden five-wicket haul, becoming the youngest Australia bowler to do so, going past Craig McDermott, who took a five-for at 22 years and 204 days against Pakistan in 1987.

5/22 - Connolly's are the best bowling figures for an Australia spinner in an ODI, bettering the figures of Brad Hogg (5 for 32) against West Indies in 2005.
