Australia have made three changes for their series-deciding T20 match against South Africa in Cairns, with the hosts winning the toss and electing to bowl first.
Wicketkeeper Josh Inglis returns from illness to nudge out Alex Carey, paceman Nathan Ellis replaces Sean Abbott, while Aaron Hardie has been called up to replace Mitch Owen.
Australia won the series opener by 17 runs, before South Africa hit back in a smashing 53-run win in game two in Darwin, levelling proceedings at 1-1.
Chasing 219 for victory in game two, Australia were bowled out for 165, with Tim David (50 off 24 balls), Mitch Marsh (22) and Carey (26) the only players to make it past 20.
Owen was ruled out of Saturday’s deciding game as well as the upcoming ODI series after being concussed by a bouncer from South African star Kagiso Rabada.
Dewald Brevis looms as the danger man for Australia after he pummelled an unbeaten 125 off 56 balls in game two, including 12 fours and eight sixes.
The Australian team will wear black armbands to pay tribute to former Australia Test captain and coach Bob Simpson, who died at the age of 89.
A minute’s silence was held before Saturday night’s match.
