Corbin Bosch, who has been added to the Test squad, will replace, Baartman in the third ODI. He had experienced discomfort in his run-up ahead of the second ODI and didn't find any place in the playing XI but he had played the first game.
The proteas have already had a tough time against Pakistan, who have dominated the first two matches of the series. With the series already out of their reach, South Africa’s focus is now on salvaging some pride in the final match.
