"It's a good chance to bat first so we can put the English under pressure," said South African captain Quinton de Kock.
The first two matches were shared, with the side batting first winning on both occasions in matches which went down to the last ball.
But England captain Eoin Morgan said he would probably have chosen to bowl if he had won the toss.
"It looks a really good wicket," he said.
South Africa made two changes, with batsman Heinrich Klaasen replacing Jon-Jon Smuts and fast bowler Dale Steyn returning in place of Beuran Hendricks.
England made what Morgan described as a "forced change" with Dawid Malan playing in place of Joe Denly, who was ill.
