With the three-match ODI series finely poised at 1-1, Pakistan are taking on South Africa today in the third and final ODI of the series at the Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad. The toss for the match went in South Africa's way and they have opted to bat first.  

Pakistan seek home advantage

The hosts will be determined to bounce back after letting their advantage slip in the second ODI. Pakistan started the series on a strong note, courtesy of Salman Ali Agha’s composed 62, which guided them to a successful chase in the opening match. However, their inability to defend a competitive total in the second game exposed their bowling inconsistencies.
 
With the home crowd behind them, Babar Azam’s men will be eager to regain momentum and finish the series on a high. Pakistan’s top order, led by Imam-ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman, will need to provide a solid platform, while Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf will look to exploit the Faisalabad conditions with early breakthroughs.

South Africa riding on confidence

South Africa, on the other hand, responded to their opening loss in emphatic style. The Proteas’ batting resurgence was led by Quinton de Kock, whose unbeaten 123 anchored the chase in the second ODI. The experienced wicketkeeper-batter has been in sublime touch, and his performance will once again be crucial in the decider.
 
Aiden Markram’s side will also take heart from their improved bowling display, particularly the discipline shown in the middle overs. With the momentum on their side, South Africa will aim to maintain their composure and seal the series.
