South Africa wins toss and elects to field in ODI as Australia welcomes back Cummins

  • On Wednesday in Potchefstroom, South Africa won the toss against Australia and elected to field first in the third and final one-day international.
  • South Africa leads the three-match series 2-0 after making five changes, resting captain Temba Bavuma and David Miller while recalling Tony de Zorzi and Ryan Rickelton.
  • Australia made three changes, welcoming back Pat Cummins for his first match in nearly two years, alongside Mitchell Starc and Ollie Peake, while Mitchell Marsh retained the captaincy.
  • A wet outfield delayed the start of the day-night game by half an hour, as Australia aims to bounce back from a 32-run loss on Sunday.
  • Although Cummins remains the official skipper for next year's World Cup, Marsh has kept the captaincy for this match, marking only Cummins' third ODI since 2023.
