New Zealand v South Africa - 3rd ODI
Southee had a forgettable series thus far

Tim Southee was seen in a lengthy discussion with coach Mike Hesson and skipper Kane Williamson prior to the second T20I and when the team sheets came out, his name was missing. The experienced Southee had been a huge disappointment in the series and the Kiwis rightly kept him out to accommodate Ish Sodhi and Adam Milne in the second T20I.

However, things changed at Trivandrum as Southee was brought in for Milne, probably considering how his swing could be a potent weapon under cloudy skies and the Kiwi pacer didn't disappoint. He sent back Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma off consecutive balls. Dhawan was undone by a slower length ball while Rohit got a slower bouncer the very next ball.
