The third and final ODI against Pakistan is being played at Supersport Park in Centurion and with Pakistan having already bagged their first ODI series win on South African soil on Wednesday, the Proteas are staring at the rather uncomfortable possibility of a whitewash. We can report that AB de Villiers again won the toss and elected to bat, and that Pakistan are currently batting:

Apart from going down 3-0 (a whitewash) in this home ODI series against Pakistan, what is there for the Proteas to gain today?
I personally think that today is extremely important for a few players like David Miller who has not scored much runs of late. Hopefully he will be moved up the batting line-up to get sufficient time in front of the stumps. Philander and Parnell get another opportunity to prove what they can do in ODI's, therefore they have to take this opportunity with both hands, because they have been in and out of the team in the last few seasons.
Hopefully the Proteas can bounce back and win this last ODI to give them some sort of confidence before they take on the formidable India. What do you predict will be the result of today's encounter at Centurion?
