The second ODI was another high-scoring match with Temba Bavuma and David Miller bagging centuries as SA posted 365/9. Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head showed great fight for Australia, but fell short of 32 runs after losing the first ODI by 67 runs.

While both the sides continue their preparations ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup, the third ODI is another match before the upcoming three-Test series.
