Toss South Africa chose to bowl vs India

There was an international debut for 30-year-old Rajat Patidar in the ODI series decider at Boland Park, as an unchanged South Africa chose to field against India.
Patidar was one of two changes for India, with him replacing Ruturaj Gaikwad, who picked up a finger injury in the second ODI. Kuldeep Yadav was rested, and in came Washington Sundar.
South Africa captain Aiden Markram said he hoped to continue the winning way after levelling the series in Port Elizabeth. He also wanted to follow the same template of bowling first to replicate success from the second ODI, even if conditions were hot for fielding on Thursday.
India captain KL Rahul said that he did not mind batting first, and expected the pitch to stay the same across 100 overs. He also said he was keen to bat on this surface after finding the pitch “better” than the first two games.
