South Africa, holding a winning 2-0 lead in the series, made two changes, with Albie Morkel and Johan Botha replacing Robin Peterson and Charl Langeveldt.

Zimbabwe brought back Hamilton Masakadza in place of Sean Williams, while seam bowler Ian Nicolson was given his first game of the series at the expense of batsman Grant Flower, who was brought back into the national side after a six-year absence but failed in the first two matches.
