Toss South Africa chose to bowl vs West Indies
South Africa made four changes to the XI that lost to the West Indies over the weekend. Markram, who was rested for that game, came on in place of Bavuma, giving South Africa all substitutions on top. Ryan Rickelton and Tony de Zorzi were given a card to open, with Quinton de Kock left out. Markram was ranked No. 3, with Reeza Hendricks unavailable after cutting his right index finger.
The West Indies kept the same team that beat South Africa and were happy with the decision to give the hosts another goal.
Quite a large crowd is expected in the university town of Potchefstroom, as today is a public holiday in South Africa: it is Human Rights Day, which commemorates the 69 victims of the Sharpeville massacre, killed by apartheid police in 1960.
