Premium Test series have been few and far between for the Proteas in recent times, but all eyes will turn to the performance of the team as they take now on Australia in the highly-anticipated World Test Championship final.
The first ball is due to be bowled at 11:30 (SA time) on Wednesday.
Of course, Australia will be favourites heading in into this game, but the Proteas will be hoping to overcome the odds and claim the Test title.
