Defending ODI champions Australia will face South Africa in their second match of the Champions Trophy 2025 on Tuesday, February 25, at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi. In their opening match, Australia successfully chased down a target of 352 runs against England in Lahore, winning by 5 wickets. Meanwhile, South Africa began their campaign with a convincing 107-run victory over Afghanistan in Karachi.
The Australian squad is missing seven members from the team that won the World Cup trophy in India 15 months ago. Captain Pat Cummins (ankle), fast bowler Josh Hazlewood (hip), and all-rounder Mitchell Marsh (back) have already been ruled out. Earlier this month, Marcus Stoinis announced his retirement, while Mitchell Starc withdrew due to personal reasons.
