South Africa vs Pakistan Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for 3rd ODI - April 7th, 2021
The third and final ODI between South Africa and Pakistan will be played at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Wednesday.
Although the series is evenly poised, Pakistan should be the happier of the two sides heading into the final fixture. They are on the cusp of sealing a historic series win, with the likes of Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman firing on all cylinders. Although their bowling unit has looked a touch undercooked for the occasion, Pakistan have given a good account of themselves in the series so far.
South Africa, the hosts, will be without Quinton de Kock and David Miller for the third ODI. Their star trio of Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, and Lungi Ngidi have also departed for the IPL, thereby denting their prospects of a series win. However, the Proteas have a couple of talented youngsters in Lutho Sipamla and Kyle Verrynne to fill the void. All in all, both teams should go all-out for the series win with another cracking game of cricket in store at SuperSport Park.

Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game in Centurion, the pitch is a good one to bat on with some help available for the pacers as well. Although there isn't much turn on offer, the spinners should ideally have a say in the game. Extra bounce will be key for the bowlers, despite the batsmen enjoying the ball coming onto the bat. Both teams will want to chase upon winning the toss, with 280-290 being par at this venue.
