South Africa 23/20
Australia 8/11
Despite South Africa winning the last two games in the series, Australia are still favourites coming into the last game.
Suggested Bet: Top Bowler Tabraiz Shamsi at 9/2
After delivering a solid overall performance in the series to date, Shamsi will be a major role player in helping his side secure the series win. He is a player who takes wickets and hopefully in this case more than any of the other bowlers in the match
Suggested Bet: South Africa to win at 23/20
South Africa are brimming with confidence after their last two performances and will be determined to deliver an excellent show for their home fans as they strive to win the series and take momentum into the World Cup.
