South Africa on Monday announced its starting line-up for the third Test against Australia, which starts on Tuesday at Newlands, Cape Town.
The home side makes just one change for the series decider, bringing in all-rounder Gerald Coetzee for the injured Anrich Nortje. The pacer bowled just 3.3 overs in Australia's first innings of the second Test before leaving and not taking further part due to a groin injury.
South Africa still managed to pull through and level the series at 1-1. Temba Bavuma's towering century propelled the ICC World Test Championship winner to 425 in the first innings. Australia was bowled out for 99 and put on just 295 upon following-on, losing by an innings and 31 runs.
Australia is yet to announce its starting XI but confirmed it has released opener Nic Maddinson and reserve wicketkeeper Sam Harper for the final match.
