Match Details:

Pitch Condition/Report:
Just like the first two games in Paarl and Bloemfontein, another slowish track awaits both the teams in Potchefstroom. While the track will have enough runs to keep batsmen interested, spinners might come into play as the game wears on.
Average first innings score: 227 (In 26 ODIs played at the venue)
Record of chasing teams: Won – 14, Lost – 10, N/R-2
