With a One Day International series win over Bangladesh already in the bag for the Proteas, Sunday’s 3rd and final ODI in East London is expected to see a couple of new faces for the home side.


Aidan Markram is expected to make his ODI debut for the side with Hashim Amla earning himself a well-deserved rest.

Markram's possible inclusion in the match day XI would be his second debut for the side in 3 weeks after making his test debut in the series against Bangladesh which the Proteas won 2-0.

The 19-Year Old Highveld Lions all-rounder Wiaan Mulder is also expected to make his debut on Sunday after being called up to the national side earlier this week.

The youngster says he got some valuable advice from his fellow debutante Aiden Markram ahead of his possible debut.

"Something Aidan told me was just to go out there and be yourself, not to try and prove a point to anyone."

Mulder added that, "what a lot of young guys struggle with is the mind set of just being yourself because they tend to want want to impress and stand up when the occasion is there."

Mulder's inclusion is yet to be confirmed but with captain Faf du Plessis having stated after Wednesday’s victory in Paarl that South Africa were "looking to give a few guys opportunities" in the dead rubber game, its more than likely.

Sunday's 3rd and final ODI will get underway at 10:00 at Buffalo Park in East London.
