Brothers Corbin and Eathan Bosch will play an international together for the first time after both were named in South Africa's XI for their final ODI against Namibia. South Africa have already won the series 2-0, with both victories secured by big margins and will look to take a clean sweep home.

Corbin was included in the side as a late replacement after Andile Simelane was ruled out, but has played two of the three matches so far. He was brought into the team as an extra seamer with Prenelan Subrayen left out. Stand-in skipper Bjorn Fortuin, who was rested for the last match, is back and South Africa have opted for one fewer batter, with Tony de Zorzi sitting out.

Unlike in the first two matches, they will chase in the finale, after Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus won a third toss and chose a different option. With no early movement on offer, Erasmus decided his side would bat first in the hope of being able to challenge South Africa.

They made two changes and left out opener Malan Kruger for 21-year old Alexander Busing-Volschenk and also opted for an extra seamer in Max Heingo. Jan Balt had to make his way out.

This is Namibia's last match before their final World Cricket League 2 matches against USA and UAE, which will determine their qualification status for next year's ODI World Cup. Namibia are currently fifth on the eight-team points table and need to finish in the top four to gain direct entry into the qualifier.

Namibia: 1 Michael van Lingen, 2 Alexander Busing-Volschenck, 3 Jan Frylinck, 4 Louren Steenkamp, 5 Gerhard Erasmus (capt), 6 Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, 7 Zane Green (wk), 8 Ruben Trumpelmann, 9 Waldo Smith, 10 Jack Brassell, 11 Max Heingo

South Africa: 1 Jordan Hermann, 2 Connor Esterhuizen (wk), 3 Matthew Breetzke, 4 Dewald Brevis, 5 Jason Smith, 6 Corbin Bosch, 7 Eathan Bosch, 8 Bjorn Fortuin (capt), 9 Nqobani Mokoena, 10 Nqaba Peter, 11 Kwena Maphaka
