SA vs PAK 3rd ODI: All you need to know, playing XI, head-to-head
Pakistan and South Africa are set to face off in the third and final ODI on Sunday at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, with the series already in Pakistan's favor. Leading the series 2-0 after securing victories in the first two matches, Pakistan will be looking to complete a clean sweep, while South Africa will play for pride as they aim to salvage some dignity from the series.
Pakistan have been in excellent form throughout the series, showcasing both consistency and depth across all departments of the game. In the first two ODIs, Pakistan’s batting has been solid, with key players stepping up when needed. Openers have provided good starts, while middle-order batsmen have supported in crucial moments to set competitive totals. The bowlers, too, have been on point, with spinners and fast bowlers working in tandem to stifle the South African batting line-up.
With a series win already in the bag, Pakistan will be looking to seal a 3-0 victory. On the other hand, South Africa have faced several challenges in the series.
