South Africa, with an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series, will play 19-year-old all-rounder Wayne Parnell and 24-year-old left-arm pacer Lonwabo Tsotsobe in the final ODI.
The youthful South Africa side will provide an extra confidence boost to Australia, who have regained Michael Clarke and Nathan Bracken for Friday’s game. The Australians just managed to avoid losing their No. 1 Test ranking by taking the dead rubber in Sydney. If South Africa beat Australia in the last ODI in Perth, they would topple Ricky Ponting’s men from the top spot of the ICC ODI rankings.
