Temba Bavuma returned on Sunday in the third ODI against Australia as South Africa eye a historic series sweep at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay. The 35-year-old Bavuma, who led the Proteas to World Test Championship (WTC) title earlier this year, was rested in the second game due to workload management.

South Africa have never managed to clean sweep Australia in ODIs in their own backyard and the final game of the tour offers them a chance to rewrite history. South Africa have been in raging form in the ODI series, winning both the games so far in a convincing fashion.

Meanwhile, Australia have opted to bat first after Mitchell Marsh won the toss in the final game of the series. Both teams have made significant changes to their playing XIs. Sean Abbott and Cooper Connolly replaced Josh Hazlewood and Aaron Hardie for Australia.

In the South African line-up, Matthew Breetzke made way for Bavuma while Nadre Burger and Lungi Ngidi have been rested as part of workload management. Corbin Bosch and Kwena Maphaka replaced the duo. South Africa have already taken a 2-0 series lead.
