South Africa beat Australia by 98 runs in the opening ODI at Cairns, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Aiden Markram provided a solid start with the bat, while Keshav Maharaj dismantled the Australian lineup with spin bowling. However, Adam Zampa struggled to make an impact with his bowling.
Zampa received one demerit point for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct. Notably, this was his first offence within a 24-month period.

On-field umpires Chris Gaffaney and Sam Nogajski, third umpire Richard Illingworth, and fourth umpire Donovan Koch leveled charges against Zampa, who admitted his offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Andy Pycroft of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees.
A total of four or more demerit points within 24 months converts into suspension points, which can lead to a ban from matches. Two suspension points equal a ban from one Test or two ODIs/T20Is. Demerit points remain on a player’s record for 24 months before being removed.
