The toss for the third and final T20I between Pakistan and South Africa has been delayed due to lightning around the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.

The final match of the three-match T20I series was scheduled to begin at 9:00 PM (PST), with the toss set to take place at 8:30 PM. However, dark clouds and the threat of severe weather have caused a delay.

Johannesburg is currently under a storm warning, which could bring harsh weather conditions to the area.

With South Africa already having an unassailable lead in the series, Pakistan is eager to secure a consolation win. A 3-0 whitewash, following a similar defeat in Australia, would be a bitter blow for the team.

To avoid the whitewash, Pakistan has made one change to their playing XI. Vice-captain Salman Ali Agha replaces Usman Khan, who failed to score more than 10 runs in the first two matches.
