Resolution criteria
This market will resolve to the team that wins the three-match One Day International (ODI) series between Australia and South Africa, scheduled from August 19 to August 24, 2025. The series winner will be determined by the team that secures the majority of victories across the three matches. If the series ends in a tie (e.g., each team wins one match and one match is abandoned), the market will resolve as "Other." Match results will be verified using official sources such as Cricket Australia's match center and ESPNcricinfo.

Considerations
Team Form and Player Availability: Both teams' performances in preceding series and the availability of key players due to injuries or other commitments may influence the series outcome.
Venue Conditions: The matches are scheduled in Cairns and Mackay, where local weather conditions and pitch characteristics could impact play. For instance, Cairns is known for its tropical climate, which might affect pitch behavior and game dynamics.
