Sri Lanka vs South Africa
3rd One Day International
Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat in an encounter that they must win to keep their hopes of a series victory alive. They retained the side that put in an improved performance with the bat in the second ODI in East London, and won't mind the change in personnel in the South African line-up.
Jacques Kallis has been rested and
Hashim Amla is on paternity duty, and the hosts have drafted in opener
Alviro Petersen and
Colin Ingram, who'll bat at No.3. Kallis had chipped in with handy contributions in both ODIs and Amla had done better, scoring a century and a half-century in the two matches.
