Date:	Mar 22 2018, Thu - 02:00 PM (IST)
Country:	South Africa
City:	Cape Town
Venue:	Newlands
Toss:	South Africa won the toss and elected to bat.
South Africa Squad:	Aiden Markram, Dean Elgar, Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers, Faf du Plessis (c), Temba Bavuma, Quinton de Kock (wk), Vernon Philander, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Morne Morkel

The series stands at 1-1 after the Proteas' victory in Port Elizabeth; another win in Cape Town will mean that South Africa have avoided a Test series defeat at home against Australia for only the second time in seven attempts.
None of the 13 previous Test matches played out between these sides at Newlands have ended in a draw; the Australians have won 10 of those games against the hosts however (L3).
South Africa have tasted defeat only once across their last 16 Test outings at this venue in Cape Town (W11 D4); that defeat did come against Australia however (March 2014).
Kagiso Rabada has taken 133 wickets in Tests since the start of 2016, 36 more than any other seamer in that time; he took 11 of those scalps last time out in Port Elizabeth against Australia, only once before has he ever managed better match figures in Test cricket.
David Warner's last four first innings for Australia have all been worth 50+; he's posted 63 and 51 so far in this series as well as 56 and 103 beforehand.
