The third ODI between South Africa and Pakistan will be played at SuperSport Park in Centurion tomorrow.

After losing the first ODI in Port Elizabeth, South Africa made a good come back in the second ODI in Durban and leveled the series 1-1 after beating the visitors by 5 wickets.

Rassie van der Dussen has been most impressive batsman as he scored the fifties in both the games and will be aiming a triple figure score. On the other hand, Pakistan top order batsmen need to be more consistent, after a brilliant batting show in Port Elizabeth they fell flat in Durban.

Team news - Quinton de Kock and Dale Steyn are back in the squad and will replace Heinrich Klaasen and Dane Patterson in the playing XI. And for Pakistan, Mohammad Amir might come back for Faheem Ashraf who failed with both bat and ball in the first two ODIs.
