South Africa unlikely to change
The Proteas are unlikely to tinker with the playing combination. All-rounders like Chris Morris, D Pretorius and Andile Phehlukwayo will have key roles while the batting will depend on the top-order heavily.
Africa did a good job in restricting Sri Lanka and their plans would be quite similar this time as well.
Sri Lanka aim to end on a high note
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, has worries concerning the Limited-overs side and with the World Cup not far, their worries have reached another level after the South Africa series. There has been news regarding Lasith Malinga's injury but he still may play as the captain of the side.
Lanka might give opportunities to two of their youngsters namely Sadeera Samarawickrama and Asitha Fernando who haven't played on this tour yet.
South Africa won the 2nd T20I by 16 runs and take 2-0 unassailable lead in the series.

The pitch at the Wanderers has been a bit slow this season, unlike the fast batting tracks.
With this situation looming over both the sides, the match is expected to be played on a surface which has something to offer to the swing bowlers. The weather should be clear in the afternoon but there might be some rain during the evening. These showers may not have an impact on the match though.
