We have Aiden Markram for the toss and the news is that Temba Bavuma is resting after a hamstring issue.
Aiden Markram:
We will bowl first. There will be early help for the bowlers and we would like to exploit it. Temba has an hamstring issue, he has had a great summer, don't want to push him too much. Unfortunately the first ODI was washed out, the plan is to give all the guys a go and widen the pool in the lead-up to the World Cup. No points in this series, so now is a good chance to try different things. We have four changes.

No changes for us. We would have liked to bat actually, it looks a good pitch and will stay good throughout. I am trying to build some partnerships in the middle, we struggled to do so in the past. We stepping in the right direction and hope to continue. Yeah definitely [on enjoying captaincy].

Rovman Powell:
It is a very important role, batting at 6 I have to shepherd the batting. lots of results will come down to how I bat. Also my role is to lead the lower-order batters. We have been searching for our standard in the last one year or two. That's why we have been poor, but we have a new captain and we have sat down with the selectors to plan for the way forward. It will come down to my cricket sense, not always power wins, you got to know when to take on a bowler when he is in a good spell. Just take the positives from the last game, worked really hard, hopefully I can go a little bit longer today.

Marco Jansen to Mayers, out Caught by Ngidi!! What a good catch. Short outside off, Mayers pulls and miscues it straight up, Ngidi initially misjudged it at mid-on, then went back and takes it with outstretched hands over his head as it came over. Just about hangs on. In the end the catch was made difficult than what it was supposed to be.

Marco Jansen to Shamarh Brooks, no run, Shamarh Brooks reviews and gets away.The cross-seamer on a yorker length, Brooks shuffles across to clip and misses, it hits the back boot and umpire Bongani Jele raises the finger after a while but it has pitched outside the leg-stump and that saves Brooks
2023-03-21 09:00:59
If we can rotate the strike better and ensure that we bat the full 50 overs, our team will continue to see positive results.

It's a decent start thus far. These two need to rotate the strike better. We need to be hovering around 6 so that it puts less pressure on those coming in.

Alzarri Joseph to Rickelton, out Caught by Mayers!! Unplayable and Mayers at slip almost makes a meal of it. Angled in rising short of length delivery on off, Rickelton tries to ride the bounce, can't takes the shoulder of the bat and loops to Mayers who fumbles twice and somehow manages to clutch on to his body to complete the take. Superb delivery and West Indies have their first. .

Alzarri Joseph to van der Dussen, 2 runs, my word! van der Dussen is down. The throw has hit him. The physio is out there. A break in play. Replays show the throw struck van der Dussen flush on the left side of the neck, just under the grille. That's nasty. It was a back of a length delivery outside off, dabbed to third man and the throw came in hard on the bounce, van der Dussen was looking at the ball but couldn't avoid it

Akeal Hosein to de Zorzi, out Lbw!! Looked like a good shout for LBW initially but Erasmus thought otherwise. Shai Hope reviews and gets it right. Turns in sharply from outside off, de Zorzi does not get outside the line as he looks to pull, rapped low on the pads and it's striking him in line. Three reds and South Africa in trouble.

Akeal Hosein to Miller, out Caught&Bowled!! Good catch by Akeal Hosein to his left. He does the Paulo Dybala celebration - look that up on YouTube. Slower and on a good length on off, Miller goes on the back foot to punch and it looks to have stopped on him as he played it, went low to Hosein's left who takes. West Indies badly needed that wicket

I'm going to defend him on the batting part. With him coming in to bat at #10, his only option is to swing.
