JP Duminy won the toss and the Proteas will bat first in the second ODI against Zimbabwe in Bloemfontein.
The Proteas won the first ODI of the three-match series by five-wickets, but there are definitely some worries in the batting department.
After bowling the visitors out for 117, the Proteas should have eased to victory, but they suffered a slight scare that that saw them lose five wickets during their chase.
The Proteas shuffled their lineup. Dale Steyn gets a chance in place of Kagiso Rabada and Khaya Zondo replaces all-rounder Wiaan Mulder.
Aiden Markram, Dean Elgar, Reeza Hendricks and Christiaan Jonker get a second opportunity to showcase their ability.
For Zimbabwe, their captain Hamilton Masakadza will be extra motivated to perform in the city he called ‘home’. It is fitting that he plays his 200th ODI in the city where he lived as a university student.
Brendan Taylor too will have fond memories on the ground. His career-best score of 145 not out came at the ground in 2010 against South Africa in a 64-run win.
