With South Africa already winning the series 2-0, they will be looking to clean sweep the ODI series with 3-0. Australia on the other hand, who won the t20 series in the decider game, are really struggling to adapt to the change of format. Aussies lack both chasing and defending the targets in 50 over game. Winning the final game against the home team South Africa, will prevent them from being white wash the series.

Pitch and Weather Condition

Senwes Park is the same place where U19 Cricket World Cup final was played last month where Bangladesh got their first ever World Cup Victory in the ICC event against India. Although, the pitch has been well known as batting friendly, the final last month set some question about it. Seeing that, we can assume, the pitch will not be on quicker side so slow bowling esp. spinner will get some turn in it.

No sign of rain is predicted, throughout the game, it is predicted to be a hot day. So we will have no interfere from the climate point of view.
