Standard Bank Proteas captain, Faf du Plessis, has confirmed they will pick the strongest possible XI with their eye on history in the fifth Momentum One-Day International (ODI) against Australia at PCC Newlands on Wednesday. Temba Bavuma was brought in as batting cover for the three batsmen, Rilee Rossouw (finger), Farhaan Behardien (hamstring) and David Miller (groin), under an injury cloud, but all three have passed their respective fitness tests and will be available for selection. The Proteas lead the series 4-0, and are on the brink of becoming the first team in history to inflict a whitewash against Australia in a five-match ODI series.Du Plessis has the opportunity to achieve what no other South African captain has achieved, and as a relatively new leader in this format, admits he is driven to lead from the front on and off the field. He believes the squad has developed its own brand and identity which has come through in their dominant performances throughout the series, a team ethos led by continuously challenging his players to perform at their peak.The match is scheduled to start at 13h30 local time.
