Markram-led South Africa make five changes and opt to bowl
Having already won the series, South Africa rested their key players, including Temba Bavuma, with an eye on the Test series
In the final One Day International (ODI) of the South Africa vs. Australia series, the Proteas aim to secure a clean sweep. Following their victories in the first two ODIs, South Africa is set to face Australia at JB Marks Oval in Potchefstroom, South Africa. The match is scheduled to commence at 1:30 PM local time, equivalent to 5:00 PM Indian Standard Time (IST), on Wednesday, September 30.
South Africa's team for the third ODI will likely include a mix of experienced players and fresh faces, as coach Shukri Conrad seeks to assess the team's depth. The predicted lineup consists of Aiden Markram, Temba Bavuma (captain), Quinton de Kock (wicketkeeper), Tony de Zorzi, Matthew Breetzke, David Miller, Corbin Bosch, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Bjorn Fortuin, and Gerald Coetzee.
Australia, on the other hand, will field a team featuring Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head, Cooper Connolly, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (wicketkeeper), Matt Renshaw, Jack Edwards, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa, and Josh Hazlewood. Notably, Nathan Ellis and Joel Davies are out of the squad due to injuries, while Jack Inglis remains sidelined with a fractured finger. Pat Cummins is expected to return for the final ODI.
The odds for the match are available on Dafabet, with Australia being the favorites to win at 1.74, while South Africa's odds are 2.06.
