Despite a stumbling batting performance, it remains unlikely skipper Jean-Paul Duminy will look to make a change in the team. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, will be hoping the star players Brendan Rodgers and Craig Ervine could fire up the side in the 2nd ODI and help them in putting up a competitive fight.

Good start for Zimbabwe - they have taken 2 early wickets. But now Aiden Markram is leading the counter attack, while Heinrick Klaasen is leading the resistance. 5 overs gone, SA 19/2
WICKET! Kyle Jarvis' bowl just remained low and Reeza Hendricks has been cleaned up. He completely missed the ball as he was not expecting it to remain this low. South Africa are in big, big trouble. SA 9/2
Chatara strikes! Dean Elgar's ODI career seem to be going nowhere as he once again edges a delivery from Tendari Chatara straight to Brendan Taylor behind the stumps. SA 7/1
Seamer Tendai Chatara comes out to bowl from the other end. He was excellent with the new ball in the first game. But this match, he starts off with the wide.
Dean Elgar and Aiden Markram out to bat for South Africa and it is Kyle Jarvis who starts off with the new ball for Zimbabwe. HERE WE GO!
Zimbabwe (Playing XI): Solomon Mire, Hamilton Masakadza(c), Craig Ervine, Brendan Taylor(w), Sean Williams, Peter Moor, Elton Chigumbura, Brandon Mavuta, Kyle Jarvis, Donald Tiripano, Tendai Chatara
South Africa (Playing XI): Aiden Markram, Dean Elgar, Reeza Hendricks, Jean-Paul Duminy(c), Khaya Zondo, Heinrich Klaasen(w), Christiaan Jonker, Andile Phehlukwayo, Dale Steyn, Imran Tahir, Lungi Ngidi
Hamilton Masakadza: It looks a very good wicket. Definitely excited about it (playing his 200th ODI). Just one change, (Wellington) Masakadza out for Trirpano - extra seam seamer. Should be a high scoring game. Will look to restrict them to a score of around 260 and then chase it down later.
JP Duminy: Looks like a good batting surface and we'll bat first. We want to test our batting. Good opportunity for the youngsters. Mulder sustained a fracture while practicing and Zondo replaces him. Steyn comes into the team. The responsibility (fifth bowler) lies on me. It's a great opportunity.
SOUTH AFRICA WIN TOSS, ELECT TO BAT FIRST!
UP NEXT - TOSS!
Should South Africa look to bowl first again or would they want to test their batsman and look to bat first. If Zimbabwe win, they are likely to opt to bowl first.
South African seamer Dale Steyn had to sit out from the first ODI. But will he be playing today? South Africa really do not need a bowling change at the moment.
Zimbabwe skipper Hamilton Masakadza will be donning the international ODI cap for the 200th time for his country. He would want to mark it as a big victory over South Africa.
Hello and welcome to our Live Blog on the 2nd ODI between South Africa and Zimbabwe. South Africa were expected to have a cakewalk of a task against their neighbouring nation in the first ODI. For a while it was. Chasing 118 looked like an easy task. Then the inexperienced South Africa batting line-up showed that they might not be quite up to the task. South Africa lost 5 wickets and at one stage, looked extremely vulnerable. Questions must be asked, what if Zimbabwe had put more on the board? Is this team ready for World Cup - with much more difficult opponents? In the 2nd ODI, some questions might be answered.
