South Africa captain Hashim Amla won the toss and elected to bat first against Bangladesh in the third and deciding one-day international on Wednesday.
In a bid to keep its strong record intact in the sub-continent, South Africa made one change, fast bowler Morne Morkel replacing Chris Morris.
Bangladesh, eyeing a fourth straight series victory and first against South Africa, retained the same team that levelled the series by winning the second match by seven wickets.
