South Africa have won an important toss in the third ODI of the tri-series against South Africa and have decided to bat first. The home team is going with one change in their squad with Saud Shakeel included in place of Kamran Ghulam. He will bat at three for Pakistan while South Africa have couple of their big stars back in the XI. 

Heinrich Klaasen and Keshav Maharaj are back after missing the game and the Proteas would be hoping that they come up with goods in this big match. Along with the star duo, the likes of Tony de Zorzi and Corbin Bosch have also been included which is expected to strengthen their chances further. This is a must-win game for both the sides as New Zealand have already qualified for the final and the winner of this game would play them in the finale.

PAK vs SA: Playing XIs

Pakistan: Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan (WK/C), Salman Agha, Tayyab Tahir, Khushdil Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Hasnain, Naseem Shah, Abrar Ahmed

South Africa: Matthew Breetzke, Temba Bavuma ©, Tony de Zorzi, Kyle Verreynne (WK), Heinrich Klaasen, Wiaan Mulder, Senuran Muthusamy, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi

It is a first game at the newly renovated National Stadium in Karachi and it would be interesting to see how things pan out with two power-packed units in action.
