South Africa playing XI for 3rd Test vs Australia: Gerald Coetzee replaces injured Anrich Nortje

Ahead of the series decider against Australia starting on Tuesday, South Africa has named its playing XI with a single alteration. Gerald Coetzee enters the side to take the place of Anrich Nortje, who suffered a groin strain during the previous fixture.

Nortje managed only three and a half overs in the first innings before exiting the contest. Despite that setback, the hosts squared the series following a commanding innings and 31-run victory, anchored by a substantial century from Temba Bavuma that lifted the team total to 425 runs.
