Mackay [Australia], August 24 (ANI): 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.
