Cameron Green produced a blistering, unforgettable innings in Australia’s final one-day international against South Africa on Sunday, August 24, 2025, in Mackay—blazing his way to a maiden ODI century in just 47 balls, making it the second‑fastest hundred by an Australian behind Glenn Maxwell’s 40‑ball ton. Coming in after a colossal 250‑run opening stand between Travis Head (142 off 103 balls) and Mitchell Marsh (100 off 106 balls), Green unleashed pure power, finishing an unbeaten 118 off 55 balls, smacking eight sixes and six fours. His knock helped Australia post a mammoth 431 for 2, their second‑highest ODI total ever, just shy of their record 434 also against South Africa in 2006 . The onslaught shattered boundaries and records alike—not only did he set the fastest ODI century against South Africa, beating Matthew Hayden’s 66‑ball mark, but it was also the first occasion three Australian batters scored centuries in the same ODI innings. South Africa, lacking key pacers, were then bundled out for a mere 155 in just 24.5 overs, giving Australia a staggering 276‑run victory—South Africa’s heaviest ODI defeat ever.
