South Africa and Australia Set for Series Decider in Third Test

The third Test of the Qantas Tour of South Africa between South Africa and Australia will be played from October 27-31 at Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town, Cricket Australia said in a statement. 

The series is currently tied at 1-1, with Australia winning the first Test by 214 runs in Durban and South Africa winning the second Test by an innings and 31 runs in Gqeberha.

The match will start at 10:30am local time (7:30pm AEDT). Broadcast information for Australia includes exclusive coverage on Kayo and Fox Cricket, with radio broadcasts on ABC and SEN.

South Africa has made several changes to their squad, with Ryan Rickelton set to keep wickets after his successful stint in the second Test. However, Anrich Nortje is unlikely to play further due to a groin injury.

 The Proteas squad includes Temba Bavuma, Marques Ackerman, David Bedingham, Corbin Bosch, Matthew Breetzke, Gerald Coetzee, Simon Harmer, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, Wiaan Mulder, Senuran Muthusamy, Anrich Nortje, Dane Paterson, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, and Kyle Verreynne.

Possible lineups for the third Test include South Africa's Aiden Markram, Marques Ackerman, David Bedingham, Temba Bavuma, Matthew Breetzke, Ryan Rickelton, Wiaan Mulder, Marco Jansen, Simon Harmer, Kagiso Rabada, and Dane Paterson, while Australia's possible XI could be Travis Head, Matthew Renshaw, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Cameron Green, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Pat Cummins, Mitch Starc, Scott Boland, and Josh Hazlewood.

The series decider will be crucial for both teams, with Marco Jansen being a key player for South Africa after his impressive performance in the second Test. Cameron Green's return to the Australian team will also be significant, as he looks to slot back into the batting order.

Newlands Cricket Ground, where the match will be played, is one of South Africa's most famous cricket venues, located at the base of Table Mountain in Cape Town.
