T20 WC: SA Elect To Bowl First Against UAE
United Arab Emirates: South Africa have brought in Jason Smith, Kwena Maphaka, Anrich Nortje and George Linde as captain Aiden Markram won the toss and elected to bowl against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in their final Group D clash of the Men’s T20 World Cup at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday.
South Africa are already through to the Super Eights, while UAE will go back home after Wednesday’s clash. At the venue, the covers were on briefly but they came off just in time for the toss. But there’s still some prediction for rain in the forenoon and afternoon time, especially with the floodlights turned on as well.
After winning the toss, Markram said his decision to bowl first was influenced by the rain factor. “Obviously a bit of rain around. There's been moisture in here this morning and we'll be able to maybe find something in the wicket up front. Most of the square feels it as well. I don't know how much rain fell last night or how much water's been applied, but it definitely has that tacky feel.
