The fourth One Day International between South Africa and Australia takes place at Centurion on Friday and after the Proteas snapped a losing streak earlier this week Australia are now 2-1 up with two to play.
Australia carried off a 3-0 clean sweep of the T20 series at the start of this tour and then won the first 2 ODI's in Bloem by margins of 3 wickets and 123 runs.
On Tuesday South hit back, coming out on top by 111 runs at Senwes Park, Potch. After being asked to bat first South Africa posted 338/6 with Markram unbeaten on 102, de Kock made 82 and Bavuma 57.
Warner and Head got Australia off to a flyer in their reply, putting on 79 in just less than 8 overs when Head went for 38. Warner went on to top score with 78 but no other batsmen made it to the 30's. Gerald Coetzee claimed 4 wickets and the Proteas remain alive in the series.
This was how the sides lined up for the third ODI.
South Africa: Quinton de Kock (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Sisanda Magala, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi

The Verdict
I'm really battling to call anything right in this series but I fancy a high scoring game and with the weather forecast looking great we should see a century scored by someone.
Elsewhere Heinrich Klaasen gets the vote to score a 50.
