PAK vs SA Key battles:

Babar Azam vs Nandre Burger

Former Pakistani captain Babar Azam would like to use his experience and get the team over the line in the third ODI against the Proteas.

Babar will be up against Nandre Burger, who will have to take responsibility and pick wickets for the team in the first power play, as he did in the previous match.

Fakhar Zaman vs Corbin Bosch

Pakistan's opening batter, Fakhar Zaman, who is aggressively known for batting at the top of the order for Pakistan, would wish to continue to bat similarly in the third and final ODI against South Africa.

Fakhar will face the challenge of Corbin Bosch, who is expected to take the new ball from one end for the visitors.

Quinton de Kock vs Shaheen Afridi

South African wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock would hope to get his team off to a good start in the first ten overs in the final ODI against Pakistan and build on the century he scored in the last match.

Quinton de Kock will have to face the challenge of the opposition captain, Shaheen Afridi, who will be entrusted to pick early wickets being the captain of the team.

Matthew Breetzke vs Mohammad Nawaz

South Africa's captain, Matthew Breetzke, would look to play a captain's knock while batting in the middle order for the team.

Breetzke will have to tackle the bowling of Mohammad Nawaz, who has the habit of picking up wickets at crucial moments for Pakistan and would aim to do the same in the next game if the conditions remain dry.
