Mackay Weather Report, Australia Men's Cricket Team vs South Africa National Cricket Team Match: Australia will be up against South Africa in the third and final ODI match at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay on Sunday, August 24.

The match will be a dead rubber contest as South Africa have already sealed the three-match series, having taken a 2-0 unassailable lead and will be heading into the match on the back of an 84-run win in the previous match.

The Proteas have been impressive and have outclassed the Aussies in all departments in the series so far and will be looking to add more to their success by producing another dominating performance to complete a 3-0 whitewash.

Australia, on the other hand, have just one win in their last eight completed ODIs, their successful 352-run chase against England in Lahore at the Champions Trophy earlier this year. They will be aiming to come up with an improved effort to get the consolation win.

"It's a great feeling, of course. Never an easy feat coming to Australia and wrapping up the series with a game to go. The boys are pretty chuffed in the changeroom," Aiden Markram had said after the win.
