Australia Australia are coming into this series after losing the second match to South Africa. The hosts failed to chase down the mammoth total of 219 runs given by South Africa and were bowled out for just 165 runs. After a stunning down in the first match, Tim David scored a blistering half-century but couldn't bring Australia to the winning line. Australia would expect skipper Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head to get a better start in the final match, as they have yet to deliver their best in the series. Glenn Maxwell has started a new duty, bowling with the new ball and would aim to exploit the conditions well in the final match. South Africa South Africa, on the other hand, will be strengthened by the morale-boosting victory in the second match. Dewald Brevis secured the Player of the Match award for his iconic performance in the match, scoring an unbeaten 125 runs from just 56 deliveries with eight sixes and twelve fours. In order to prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup, the Proteas are eyeing to build a solid, formidable squad. The 19-year-old rising star, Kwena Maphaka, has been the star performer for the team, scalping 7 wickets in just two innings. AUS vs SA 3rd T20I: Pitch Report The surface at Cazaly's Stadium in Cairns is expected to be a balanced pitch, but it will offer good bounce for fast bowlers during the early stages of the game. Seamers could enjoy some assistance under lights, especially with Darwin’s humid conditions contributing to swing. Spinners may come into play as the pitch slows down later in the innings. Once batters spend some time, it will be favourable for them. Anything between the scores of 175-185 will be considered a competitive score on this surface. AUS vs SA 3rd T20I: Weather Report The weather is likely to remain clear throughout the entire match, and there is no chance of rain predicted for the match.
