Both the teams have made two changes.

Jason Holder said at the toss time, “We’ll bowl first. Overcast conditions all around and rain is expected, so this is the right decision.

So is Kemar Roach.

Faf du Plessis said at the toss time, “We would have bowled first as well with this weather around. There is forecast for rain and it could be an overcast game throughout. We played two of the strongest sides early on and the guys are looking not to be negative because that will set them further down. It’s a long tournament. We’ve two changes – Aiden Markram is back and Beuran Hendricks as well.
