Cameron Green scored the second-fastest ODI century by an Australian, reaching 100 runs in 47 balls against South Africa in Mackay on August 24, 2025. This innings helped Australia secure a 276-run victory over the Proteas. Green's century is the fastest ODI hundred against South Africa and the quickest on Australian soil, behind only Glenn Maxwell's 40-ball century against the Netherlands in the 2023 World Cup. Other fast Australian ODI centuries include Maxwell's 51-ball hundred against Sri Lanka in 2015, James Faulkner's 57-ball century against India in 2013, and Travis Head's 59-ball century against New Zealand in 2023. In the same match, Travis Head scored 142 and Mitchell Marsh 100, contributing to Australia's total of 431 for two, their second-highest ODI score. The victory was marked by a strong bowling performance from Cooper Connolly, who took 5 wickets for 22 runs. This match was historic as it featured three Australian centuries in a single innings for the first time. Green finished unbeaten on 118 runs from 55 balls, partnering with Alex Carey, who scored 50 not out.[1][2][3] (Updated 25 Aug 2025, 12:47 IST; source: link)
