Experienced South African top order batsman Rassie van der Dussen has overcome an injury that ruled him out of the first two T20 games against Pakistan to be included in the side for the third match in Centurion on Wednesday.
Van der Dussen was one of the star performers for the Proteas in the ODI series. He takes the place of Wihan Lubbe, who played in the top three in the order in the first two games.
