Mackay, Aug. 24 -- Australia skipper Mitchell Marsh won the toss and opted to bat against South Africa in the third ODI at Mackay on Sunday.

Australia won the T20Is 2-1, while South Africa has a great chance to clean sweep Australia for the first time in an ODI bilateral series at home.

"We are going to bat first. Looks like a really good wicket, and hopefully we can put on a good score. Sean Abbott comes in for Josh Hazlewood. Connolly comes in for Hardie," Mitchell Marsh said after winning the toss.

"Would have been nice to bat, looks a bit dry. Hopefully, it spins during the day. Three changes for us. We want to be at our best," South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma said.
