Durban (South Africa) (AFP) - Australia won the toss and decided to bat in the third one-day international against South Africa at Kingsmead on Wednesday.
South Africa, with a 2-0 lead in the five-match series, are seeking to clinch their first bilateral series win against Australia since 2008/09.
Australia have a good record at Kingsmead, however, with five wins in seven matches against South Africa at the ground, including the most recent four matches between the teams.
Batsman Hashim Amla returned to the South African team after missing the first two matches, while all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius was included for his first match of the series. They replaced Wayne Parnell, who had a rib injury, and Farhaan Behardien.
Daniel Worrall replaced fellow fast bowler Joe Mennie in the Australian team.
