South Africa, who have already qualified for the semi-finals, had hinted in the pre-match press conference that they would look to rest some of their mainstays, something which they did during their win over the UAE in New Delhi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj rested, a win for the Proteas here will guarantee them as Group 1 toppers. \u201cThey've been working behind the scenes and deserve some game time. This also gives us a chance to see them in action if any injuries occur going forward.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe would have batted first as well, we've been chasing well and wanted to see how we go batting first. The drive is to continue doing what we've been doing well,\u201d said South Africa skipper Aiden Markram.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza said Richard Ngarava and Tashinga Musekiwa are unavailable due to injuries, and have brought back Wellington Masakadza and Graeme Cremer into their playing eleven, as they aim to sign off from the tournament on a high.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt's a day game and we have a few injuries, so we're going to bat, as it suits our gameplan. We've seen the reality, we have to see how we can improve and become a mid-table team in 18 months time.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
