South Africa Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Opening batsman Hashim Amla has been given rest for the third ODI. He has been replaced by Aiden Markram in the squad who is set to make his debut for South Africa in limited-overs format.
Key Players
With Hashim Amla rested, the onus will be on Quinton de Kock and AB de Villiers to score the big runs for South Africa. While the former has batted well in both the games, the latter blitzed 176 runs from 104 balls in the second ODI. Fast bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Andile Phehlukwayo took a four-wicket haul in the first and the second ODI respectively and these two will be the key for South Africa once again.
Recent Form
South Africa have been absolutely brutal with the bat so far in this series. After putting up 353 in the first innings of the second ODI, they dismissed Bangladesh for 249 to win the game by 104 runs.

Team News
Bangladesh have added Shafiul Islam to the squad as left-arm pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman is scheduled to return home owing to an ankle injury. Shafiul could replace Taskin Ahmed in this game.
Key Players
Mushfiqur Rahim is looking in really good form with an unbeaten century in the first game and then a gritty 60 in the second. Bangladesh will need him to fire along with Imrul Kayes who scored a fifty in the last game. Rubel Hossain notched up a four-fer at Paarl while Shakib Al Hasan bagged a couple of scalps. The skipper will rely on these two bowlers once again for taking wickets.
Recent Form
Bangladesh succumbed to their third straight defeat in one-day cricket as they took a beating from South Africa in the second ODI at Paarl. The visitors have now lost four of their last five completed 50-overs matches.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11

Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah, Imrul Kayes, Rubel Hossain, Nasir Hossain, Sabbir Rahman, Liton Das, Taskin Ahmed/Shafiul Islam

South Africa vs Bangladesh Head to Head
Out of the 19 ODIs played between these two countries, South Africa have won 16 and Bangladesh only 3. The hosts will be going into the third one-day international having beaten the visitors four times in their previous six encounters.
South Africa vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI Betting Odds
South Africa continue to be the bookmakers' favorites to win the third one-day international at an extremely short price of 1.13 on 1xbet and 1.083 on Bet365. They have been dominant in the first two games and are expected to wrap the series here with another clinical performance. Bangladesh are struggling with both bat and ball in these South African conditions and they will start off this game as big underdogs at odds of 8 on both Betfair and Bet365.
South Africa vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI Prediction
South Africa have an impressive win record in ODIs at the Buffalo Park - 13 wins from 17 matches. Since 2000, the Proteas have played nine one-day internationals at this venue and have won each of those. And even though they have rested Hashim Amla, they still are the superior side. Bangladesh were hammered in the first two games and we don't expect much resistance from them in this match as well. So we predict South Africa to complete a 3-0 clean sweep on Sunday.
Final Verdict: Back South Africa to beat Bangladesh in the third ODI at 1.13 with 1xbet and 1.083 with Bet365.
