Speaking at the toss, Zimbabwe’s skipper Craig Ervaine said, “We will have a bat. Getting runs on the board will be a good start, the wicket will quicken up as the game goes on. Having played a few games, hopefully we will start off well. No changes for us. We had an incredible week and got some really important games coming up and hopefully we can put another good performance tonight.
South African skipper Temba Bavuma seemed happy with bowling first and said, ” We would have bowled first. We got four pacers and one spinner today. KG, Nortje, Parnell and Lungi and the one spinner in Kesh (Maharaj). The preparations have been good and looking forward to it. We got strong belief and confidence in our ability, we come into this tournament with good understanding and we will try to play our best cricket”.
