We have made a couple of changes to our Expert XI. Have a look at our new and improved team
This pitch is right in the middle, so even square boundaries, down the ground is 72m, there is also the wind factor, the shorter boundary to my right is going to come more into play. It’s very dry again, quite a few cracks again. It has more rolling to it and it has a better colour but it’s going to turn but it won’t turn as much as in the first game, reckons Mike Haysman in his pitch report.
Rassie van der Dussen: I probably would have batted as well. It’s a great opportunity to rectify our mistakes from the last game. In the first ten overs we didn’t do well with the ball but we did well in the second half of the innings. Nortje comes in for Coetzee and Nqaba Peter makes his debut.
Brandon King: It was difficult chasing in the last game. We did well in the last game but there are areas we can improve on. Just one change – Shepherd is in.
