The Proteas won the toss and will bowl first in the third T20I at SuperSport Park, KHALID MOHIDIN reports.
The Proteas will aim to replicate the Proteas Women’s dominance on the ground earlier in the day when they cruised to a 39-run win to secure a 3-0 whitewash against Sri Lanka.
The series has been sealed. The Proteas have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead with a seven-run win against Pakistan to break their 11-series unbeaten streak.
The home side showed resilience and grit to pull off a remarkable series victory against the No 1-ranked T20I team.
This is a final shot for players to show their worth ahead of the white-ball series against Sri Lanka in March – the Proteas’ final bout before the World Cup.
