Bavuma misses 3rd ODI with hamstring, Markram wins toss as Proteas bowl with new opening pair

At the JB Marks Oval, Potchefstroom

Proteas ODI captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of Tuesday's third ODI against the West Indies with hamstring discomfort.

According to a Cricket South Africa release, Bavuma experienced the discomfort after his monumental 144 in the second ODI at Buffalo Park on Saturday.

That not only necessitated a change in player resources, but a change in captaincy, with Aiden Markram stepping into the leadership void.

Markram incidentally won the toss and chose to bowl as South Africa welcome back several stalwarts, including their stand-in skipper.
