With the series on the line, South Africa and Pakistan will play the fourth ODI of the ongoing series on Sunday, January 27, 2019. The match will be played at the Wanderers stadium in Johannesburg. Set to be a day game, the match will start at 10:00 AM SAST, 1:00 PM PKT.
Proteas gained a 2-1 lead in the five-match series after winning the rain-marred game in Centurion on Friday.
Pakistan would look to come back by winning the Pink ODI on Sunday and spoil Proteas' record, who are yet to lose a Pink ODI. It is an annual event in South Africa's Cricket calendar, where the team sports a special pink jersey to support and spread awareness about breast cancer.

Axe likely to fall on Fakhar
Fakhar Zaman has been going through a tough phase and it is unlikely that he will feature in the XI on Sunday. Shan Masood, who looked solid during the Tests, will have an opportunity to make his ODI debut if Fakhar is dropped. Another change Pakistan could possibly make is that of playing Faheem Ashraf instead of Imad Wasim, but the latter batted well in the lower order in the previous game. Other than that, Captain Sarfaraz Ahmed might not make any changes to his side.
Proteas look to extend their Pink-Day success
South Africa might go in with their winning combination in this game. The left-arm spinner Tabraiz Shamsi didn't have a great in Centurion which might give the Proteas a reason to bring back Imran Tahir.
Other than this, the hosts won't make any changes to their side.
It will be a jam-packed crowd witnessing this game at the Wanderers on Sunday. The pitch should be good for batting with something for the pacers to extract as well. The beautiful ground would be baked in sunshine throughout the day and there won't be any hindrance by rain in Johannesburg.
