The highly-anticipated final T20I between South Africa and Pakistan is set to take place on Saturday, (December 14), at the iconic Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. With the series already secured by the Heinrich Klaasen-led Proteas, who hold an unassailable 2-0 lead, all eyes will be on the hosts as they aim for a clean sweep.
South Africa’s dominant performance in the series so far has been built around individual brilliance. In the opening T20I at Kingsmead, it was David Miller and George Linde who played crucial roles in securing a memorable win.
However, the standout performance came in Centurion, where Reeza Hendricks stole the show with a blistering knock that helped the Proteas race to a commanding victory. The Proteas will be determined to carry this momentum forward and complete the series sweep on home soil.
On the other hand, Pakistan will be looking to salvage some pride and avoid a whitewash. The visitors showed promise in the second T20I with the bat, with significant contribution from Saim Ayub. However, Pakistan’s bowlers couldn’t deliver when it mattered most, allowing South Africa to chase down the target with ease.
So ahead of the third T20I, let's take at the weather report for the Wanderers Stadium Johannesburg.
