Pakistan have won the toss and decided to field first in the final fixture of the four-match T20I series in the high stakes game at the Supersport Park in Centurion.
The home team, South Africa, will be hoping to limit Pakistan and end their final game of the summer with a win and series draw.
In the last game, Pakistan captain Babar Azam and batsman Mohammad Rizwan sailed the Men in Green to victory.
Although South Africa set a massive 204-run target, Pakistan easily chased it with nine wickets to spare and took a lead of 2-1 in the four-match series.
Babar Azam hit 122 runs, comprising a whopping 15 fours and four sixes, while Mohammad Rizwan scored an unbeaten 73 runs, with five fours and two sixes.
South Africa will be hoping that in today’s game their fielding will rise to the occasion as they let the visitors off easily in the third T20I.
