After South Africa\u2019s superb victory<\/a> over Australia at Gqeberha, attention now turns to the series decider at Cape Town. It will be the first Test between the nations at Newlands since the infamous match of 2018. Just like eight years ago, there is plenty riding on this encounter.<\/p>\n

Rain played a big factor in the Gqeberha Test, with over 140 overs lost. The weather forecast looks much more promising for the Cape Town Test, which kicks off on Tuesday October 27.<\/p>\n

Weather forecast for SA vs AUS 3rd Test: Cape Town expected to serve good conditions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to BBC Weather<\/em>, players and spectators will be greeted with mostly sunny conditions throughout the match at one of the most picturesque venues in world cricket. \u201cSunny and a gentle breeze\u201d is forecast for day one with a top of 23 degrees, followed by similar weather for the remainder of the Test.<\/p>\n

\"News:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

AccuWeather<\/em> pains a similar picture, forecasting even warmer conditions in the city with temperatures in the high 20s. <\/p>\n

With the sunshine throughout the five days, it gives Australia a decision to make regarding their bowling attack. They opted not to play Nathan Lyon in Gqeberha, replacing the offspinner with Scott Boland who had a superb match with bat and ball. <\/p>\n

Given Boland\u2019s performance, it would be a massive call to leave him out of the Cape Town Test. However, the sunny conditions at Newlands could mean spin plays a factor later in the match. Could the Australians leave out one of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc or Josh Hazlewood for Lyon? Time will tell.<\/p>\n

The series is beautifully poised at 1-1 following South Africa\u2019s stirring victory in the second Test. \u201cWe still have a job at hand with another match still to go. So, once that is gone, I\u2019ll kind of allow myself to swim in all of that,\u201d said Temba Bavuma after the match.<\/p>\n
