The 50-over World Cup is far older and has been competed for since back in 1975. Australia are the record winners having run out victorious on five occasions (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015). England took the 2019 crown after a dramatic Ben Stokes-inspired super-over win over New Zealand at Lord's.

The preparations for the ODI World Cup 2027 begin for Australia and South Africa as they face each other in a three-match series from August 19 onwards. The reigning ODI World champions, Australia, are looking to end an 11-year wait against the Proteas.

The clash on Tuesday, August 19 will see Australia (AUS) host South Africa (SA) for the first ODI of the three-match series at the Cazaly's Stadium in Cairns. The ODI leg opener will begin after the hosts have already clinched the T20I series by a 2-1 margin.
