Captains speaks
Hamilton Masakadza: It looks a very good wicket. Definitely excited about it (playing his 200th ODI). Just one change, (Wellington) Masakadza out for Trirpano - extra seam seamer. Should be a high scoring game. Will look to restrict them to a score of around 260 and then chase it down later.
JP Duminy: Looks like a good batting surface and we'll bat first. We want to test our batting. Good opportunity for the youngsters. Mulder sustained a fracture while practicing and Zondo replaces him. Steyn comes into the team. The responsibility (fifth bowler) lies on me. It's a great opportunity.
