Proteas skipper Quinton de Kock has won the toss and elected to bowl first in the final T20I against Australia at Newlands in Cape Town, writes ANDRE HUISAMEN.
Heinrich Klaasen has recovered from injury and replaces Reeza Hendricks in the team with Rassie van der Dussen moving to the top of the order, while Australia remain unchanged once again.
The Proteas responded in spectacular fashion on Sunday when they won the second T20I in Port Elizabeth by 12 runs thanks to some fine death bowling by Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje.
The victory levelled the series for South Africa after being hammered by 107 runs by Australia at the Wanderers on Friday evening.
