Heading into the decider, both sides have plenty to play for. Australia will rely on the experience of captain Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head, and Josh Hazlewood, along with the firepower of David and Maxwell, to reclaim control.
South Africa, buoyed by Brevis's heroics, will look to Markram's leadership and the pace threat of Rabada, Ngidi, and the young Maphaka to seal a rare T20I series win on Australian soil.
The tropical Cairns conditions could make batting trickier than in Darwin, putting a premium on disciplined bowling and sharp fielding.
With the series in the balance, expect a fierce contest where one individual performance could once again decide the outcome.

Glenn Maxwell stars in Australia's series-clinching victory over South Africa with brilliant catch, unbeaten 62
Glenn Maxwell not only collected a game-changing catch to dismiss the red-hot Dewald Brevis at Cazaly's Stadium, he also got Australia over the line in their chase of the 173-run target set by South Africa with an unbeaten 62 off just 36 deliveries. Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell raises his bat in celebration after completing his half-century in the third T20I against South Africa in Cairns. AP Veteran all-rounder Glenn Maxwell higlighted his ability to stand tall and deliver for Australia in crunch games, starring in his team's thrilling two-wicket victory over South Africa in Cairns on Saturday with his brilliance on the field as well as with the bat. Maxwell's first moment of brilliance was when he pulled off a stunning catch at the edge of the wide long on boundary to dismiss the in-form Dewald Brevis, shortly after he brought up his half-century in just 22 deliveries. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Brevis had starred in South Africa's victory in the previous game with a record 125 not out, and was in the middle of another game-changing knock when it was cut short by the 'Big Show', who remains one of the better fielders in the world at 36 years of age. South Africa could manage 172/7 in the end after being put in to bat by Australia, with Brevis' dismissal likely resulting in them falling at least 15-20 runs short. Maxwell's unbeaten 62 guides Australia home Maxwell would later smash an unbeaten 62 off just 36 deliveries to steer his team to a thrilling series-clinching victory with a ball to spare. The Aussies were off to a superb start with a 66-run opening stand between skipper Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head, the former also scoring a half-century (54). The Proteas, however, produced an impressive fightback to reduce Australia to 122/6 in the 14th over. All-rounder Corbin Bosch later made things all the more interesting by striking twice in as many deliveries in the 19th over, signing off with excellent figures of 3/26. Maxwell, however, maintained his composure and got his team over the line with a couple of fours and a brace, refusing a couple of singles along the way. GLENN MAXWELL WINS IT ON THE SECOND LAST BALL!#AUSvSA — (@cricketcomau) August 16, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Australia's victory helped them take the three-match series 2-1, with the hosts having won the series opener in Darwin by 17 runs before the Proteas bounced back with a 53-run thrashing just two days later at the same venue. Cazaly's Stadium in Cairns will also host the first of three ODIs between the two nations that takes place on Tuesday, with Australia and South Africa then shifting base to Mackay for the remaining games of the three-match series.

Maxwell 62 not out aces chase as two-wicket win gives Australia series victory over South Africa
Australia's Glenn Maxwell produced an unbeaten half-century in a tense chase to help the hosts edge out South Africa by two wickets in the third and final Twenty20 International and complete a 2-1 series victory in Cairns on Saturday. Maxwell's unbeaten 62 off 36 balls helped Australia chase down a 173-run target with one ball to spare in a thrilling decider at the Cazalys Stadium. After 18 overs of their innings, it was a run-a-ball target for Australia with Maxwell in the middle. South African Corbin Bosch (3-26) claimed two wickets in the penultimate over and kept Maxwell away from the strike. Needing 10 off the last over from Lungi Ngidi, Maxwell took six from the first four balls before reverse sweeping the bowler for a four to seal Australia's dramatic victory. 'It was a little bit nerve-wracking,' Maxwell said after being adjudged player of the match. 'I probably had to do the majority of the striking but, yeah, it was nice to get a couple out of the middle right near the end.' Earlier, put in to bat, South Africa overcame a top order wobble to post a competitive 172-7 with Dewald Brevis (53) top-scoring for them. The tourists were 49-3 inside seven overs but Brevis looked unfazed and hit Aaron Hardie for four sixes in an over, throwing the pacer out of the attack. Brevis raced to a 22-ball fifty but Maxwell took a brilliant running catch near the rope to dismiss him off the bowling of Nathan Ellis (3-31). Tristan Stubbs contributed 25 and Rassie van der Dussen made 38 not out down the order but South Africa still fell short of the 175-mark. Skipper Mitchell Marsh (54) led Australia's robust reply, dominating his 66-run opening stand with Travis Head (19). Kagiso Rabada floored a return catch from Marsh when the batter was on 26 and Aiden Markram gave a similar reprieve to Head off his own bowling. Head could not capitalise on it though and fell to Markram in the same over. Bosch bowled Josh Inglis for a first ball duck before South Africa's teenaged left-arm quick Kwena Maphaka dismissed Marsh and Cameron Green (nine) in the same over to turn the match on its head. Rabada also produced a two-wicket over, dismissing Tim David and Hardie but Maxwell stayed calm to guide Australia home. The three-match one-day international series between the sides begins in Cairns on Tuesday.
