Marco Jansen stars in South Africa's ODI win over Australia

South African all-rounder Marco Jansen delivered a standout performance during the first ODI against Australia in Durban on September 24, 2026. Jansen contributed significantly to the Proteas' 67-run victory, scoring 75 runs off 59 balls.

In a highlight of the match, Jansen executed a remarkable one-handed catch to dismiss Australian opener Matt Renshaw. The play occurred during the 37th over of Australia's chase after a delivery from Gerald Coetzee. Jansen, sprinting to his right, launched into a full-length dive to secure the ball, a moment described as a pivotal turning point in the game.

The victory gives South Africa momentum in the three-match series as both nations compete for standing in international rankings.
