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 behind only Glenn Maxwell's 40-ball hundred against the Netherlands in the 2023 World Cup and ahead of Maxwell's 51-ball century against Sri Lanka in 2015. Other fast Australian ODI centuries include James Faulkner's 57-ball hundred against India in 2013 and Travis Head's 59-ball century against New Zealand in 2023. Green's 47-ball century is also the fastest ODI hundred recorded against South Africa and the quickest on Australian soil. The match featured centuries from Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh as well, contributing to Australia's total of 431 for two, their second-highest ODI score. Spin bowler Cooper Connolly took five wickets for 22 runs, helping to bowl out South Africa for 155. This performance marked a significant achievement in Australian ODI cricket history.
