South Africa's preparations for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup have taken a blow with the news that captain Temba Bavuma will miss the Proteas' warm-up fixtures for the tournament against Afghanistan and New Zealand. Bavuma is flying home due to family reasons and will miss South Africa's two vital warm-up matches. The T20I skipper Aiden Markram will captain the South Africa team in WC warm-up matches in Bavuma's absence.
Left-arm fast bowler Marco Jansen dismissed the first five Australian batsmen to clinch a come-from-behind series win for South Africa in the fifth one-day international at the Wanderers Stadium on Sunday. Jansen took five for 39 as Australia were bowled out for 193 in reply to South Africa's 315 for nine. South African captain Temba Bavuma said the character of the team had shone through after they lost the first two matches of the series, which boded well for the World Cup in India next month. "There is a lot of confidence we can take, in that we had our backs against the wall and we showed we have ways of getting on top of the game. We will go to India in probably the best state we can be."

South Africa really showed their true credentials as they won the third ODI by a whopping margin of 110 runs against Australia. It was a rare poor outing by the Aussies who have looked like a team on a different level since they landed in the Rainbow Nation. It also has to be noted that Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma will not be available for this match, having been ruled out due to an injury. (LIVE Scorecard)
