South Africa won the toss and decided to bowl in the decisive final one-day international against Pakistan on Wednesday
The match at Newlands is a series decider with both teams having won twice in the first four games.
South Africa made two changes from the side beaten by eight wickets in Johannesburg on Sunday, bringing in all-rounders Wiaan Mulder and Dwaine Pretorius for batsman David Miller and fast bowler Beuran Hendricks.
