Earlier this week the Proteas clinched a much-needed win over Australia, with the five-match series now standing at 2-1 in favour of the visitors.

On Friday, the Proteas will be hoping to make it 2-2 as they face Australia in Pretoria in a match that starts at 1pm.

ODI captain Temba Bavuma is unavailable for selection for the fourth ODI at SuperSport Park, Centurion on Friday.

Bavuma has a right adductor strain and as a precautionary measure, he has been ruled out of the match.

Aiden Markram will captain the side in Bavuma’s absence.
