Australia vs South Africa 2nd ODI Match: South African captain Temba Bavuma was not included in their playing XI for the second ODI match against Australia at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay on Friday.

Aiden Markram came out at the toss for the Proteas and opted to bat first with Tony De Zorzi replacing Bavuma. Offspinner Prenelan Subrayen has been left out after he was reported for a suspect action on ODI debut in game one.

South Africa provided the update that Bavuma has been rested for the second ODI match Mackay owing to the ongoing management of his hamstring. "This decision is part of his workload management, as he recovered from a hamstring strain which he sustained during the WTC final in June," the statement said. "Although he experienced no discomfort during the first ODI on Tuesday, the Proteas medical team recommended he be rested for the second match."
