Potchefestroom: Jan 25, 2013
New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum won the toss and elected to bat against South Africa in the third One-Day International (ODI) at Potchefstroom.
The visitors shocked the home side when they took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series and will hope to complete a clean sweep after a poor Test series.
South Africa on the the other hand, will look to end their poor form in the current ODI series and end it on a high.
The Kiwis are fielding an unchanged side while South Africa have made two changes with Aaron Phangiso and Dale Steyn coming in for Robin Peterson and Morne Morkel.
Teams:
South Africa: Quinton de Kock(w), Graeme Smith, Colin Ingram, Farhaan Behardien, Faf du Plessis(c), David Miller, Ryan McLaren, Rory Kleinveldt, Dale Steyn, Aaron Phangiso, Lonwabo Tsotsobe
