"Keshav Maharaj inspired South Africa's 98-run win over Australia with a stunning 5-wicket haul, claiming 5-33 in his first ODI five-wicket performance."
"Australia collapsed from 0-60 to 198 all out, as Maharaj's bowling wreaked havoc, along with Prenelan Subrayen's debut spell starting the fall."
"Mitch Marsh's 88 stood out among Australia's batting order, but the team’s middle-order faltered, with no other batter reaching double figures in their innings."
"Aiden Markram contributed 82 runs to a strong opening partnership with Ryan Rickelton, setting a solid foundation before his dismissal hindered South Africa’s progress."
Keshav Maharaj's career-best performance helped South Africa secure a decisive 98-run victory over Australia in the first ODI in Cairns. Scalping 5 wickets for 33 runs, Maharaj orchestrated a collapse that saw Australia lose 6 wickets for just 29 runs. Prenelan Subrayen's debut wicket initiated this downfall by dismissing Travis Head. Mitchell Marsh’s 88 runs were the only highlight in a struggling Australian batting lineup, which crumbled to 198 all out. Aiden Markram's valuable 82 runs contributed significantly to South Africa's total of 296.
