Teams Preview
South Africa
Given his ineffectiveness with the new-ball, Beuran Hendricks might be dropped from the playing XI. Kyle Verreynne could come in place of Pite Van Biljon or Andile Phehlukwayo for this series decider.
In the batting department, the side will be depending on the likes of Janneman Malan, Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram to do the bulk of the scoring.
In the third T20I, opener Aiden Markram continued his golden run with the bat and smashed his third fifty in a row for South Africa.
Besides Markram, Janneman Malan finally managed to get a big score in the previous game and smashed a fluent half-century with the help of five boundaries and two sixes.
Playing his first game after injury, Rassie van der Dussen continued his decent form with the bat and chipped in with 34 runs off 20 balls with the help of two sixes.
Promoted to no.3 in the batting order, bowling all-rounder George Linde made an excellent contribution with the bat and chipped in with 22 runs off 11 balls.
Captain Heinrich Klaasen and all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo put in crucial scores to see South Africa push their score beyond 200-run mark in their allotted 20 overs.
In the bowling department, the spin duo of George Linde and Tabraiz Shamsi will need to make breakthroughs for the side in this fixture.
South Africa Actual Playing XI:
Aiden Markram, Lizaad Williams, Heinrich Klaasen, SSB Magala, Rassie van der Dussen, Bjorn Fortuin, Tabraiz Shamsi, Andile Phehlukwayo, George Linde, Wiaan Mulder, Janneman Malan

Pakistan
Given the batsmen friendly, the bowling attack lacked variety and looked pretty one-dimensional in the previous game.
The visitors might include Usman Qadir in place of either Hasan Ali or Haris Rauf for this series decider.
In the batting department, the side will be relying on the opening pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan to get them off to a flying start.
In the 3rd T20, Babar Azam definitely raise his game with the bat and smashed a scintillating maiden century for Pakistan. He looked positive from the outset and picked up boundaries at regular intervals.
He put on a record-breaking opening partnership of 197 runs with Mohammad Rizwan to see Pakistan canter to a comprehensive win.
Besides Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan proved his batting credentials and smashed unbeaten 73 off 47 balls.
In the bowling department, the onus will be on the likes of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Usman Qadir and Mohammad Nawaz to deliver breakthroughs in this series decider.
