Ottneil Baartman has been ruled out of the final ODI against Pakistan
South Africa fast bowler Ottneil Baartman has been ruled out of the third ODI against Pakistan at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Sunday (December 22).
Baartman, who played in the first ODI and claimed two wickets, injured his right knee.
The 31-year-old experienced discomfort in his run-up while warming up for the second game and was subsequently omitted from the playing XI.
He has been replaced by all-rounder Corbin Bosch.
Baartman will now return home for further assessments.
This injury update follows the news that left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj has also been ruled out of the ODI series due to a left abductor strain.
Baartman’s next assignment will be with the two-time champions, Sunrisers Eastern Cape, in the SAT20.
Pakistan have secured an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series after a dominant win in Cape Town on Thursday, following their victory over the hosts in Paarl two days earlier.
