South Africa XI: Aiden Markram, Dean Elgar, Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers (c), Temba Bavuma, Quinton de Kock (wk), Vernon Philander, Andile Phehlukwayo, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Morne Morkel
Zimbabwe XI: Justice Chibhabha, Hamilton Masakadza, Craig Ervine, Brendan Taylor (c), Peter Moor (wk), Sikandar Raza, Ryan Burl, Graeme Cremer, Kyle Jarvis, Christopher Mpofu, Blessing Muzarabani
Chamu gets in over Mire, but no Chatara
But Cricinfo says Taylor is captain and Moor is keeper, clearly not correct.

Burl ahead of Chakabva???
Forget wicketkeeping? In what world is Burl anywhere remotely near the class of Chakabva as a FC batsman???
Chakabva easily Zimbabwe's best bat in terms of products after the Taibu, Hami, Matsi etc generation???

Handing out two debuts in this match was probably too much. Chamu for Mire looks like a very sensible thought on form / confidence.

Chamu comes back to the top ahead of Mire Blessing gets his debut ahead of Chatara. Definite questions on Chataras fitness here. Better balanced team good we are moving forward from the 8-3 combination.

Taylor keeping opens up a slot but Chakabva probably unlucky to miss out.
