At the JB Marks Oval, Potchefstroom
Proteas ODI captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of Tuesday's third ODI against the West Indies with hamstring discomfort.
According to a Cricket South Africa release, Bavuma experienced the discomfort after his monumental 144 in the second ODI at Buffalo Park on Saturday.
That not only necessitated a change in player resources, but a change in captaincy, with Aiden Markram stepping into the leadership void.
Markram incidentally won the toss and chose to bowl as South Africa welcome back several stalwarts, including their stand-in skipper.
