Interestingly, Cummins made his ODI debut against Proteas in Centurion in 2011. The right-arm pacer had clinched four wickets against South Africa in the recently concluded T20I series. The series was won by Australia 2-1.
The 26-year-old has played 30 Tests and picked 143 wickets with an average of 21.82. He is also the number one Test bowler. The pacer has featured in 28 shortest format games and scalped 36 wickets so far.
Heinrich Klaasen's maiden international ton guided South Africa to a 74-run win.
