Pakistan has already become the first Asian team to have clinched the ODI series from the South Africans right on their home grounds. For Pakistan, which lost the 5-ODI series against Proteas in UAE 4-1, this is a great achievement and morale booster.
For today's match hosts will be missing Kallis and Steyn because of their injuries and their absence may hurt the team badly in winning the last ODI and escape a humiliation of a ODI series whitewash.
However, weather stands in Pakistan's way by afternoon thunderstorms which have come down all week and are forecast for Saturday, as it may spoil Pakistan's goal of series whitewash - and blessing in disguise for the hosts.
Squads:
South Africa: AB de Villiers*, HM Amla, H Davids, Q de Kock†, JP Duminy, Imran Tahir, R McLaren, DA Miller, M Morkel, WD Parnell, VD Philander, LL Tsotsobe
