Team News:

Durban Heat:

They will be boosted by the availability of Afghan Sensation Rashid Khan who will directly come in the playing XI.

Brandon Mavuta will lose his place as the team will not prefer three full-time spinners. T Bokako also has been very expensive and Marchant De Lange if fit will replace him.

As predicted, Hashim Amla was dropped in the last match. He will likely miss tomorrow’s match also as Sarel Erwee and Morne Van Wyk are providing a good start to the team.

Sarel Erwee and Morne van Wyk will open the innings. H Klassen, D Miller and Khaya Zondo will follow them. Albie Morkel, V Philander, Rashid Khan and K Maharaj will play the role of an all-rounder.

V Philander and Kyle Abbott will lead the pace attack while Rashid Khan and Keshav Maharaj will be the key spinners.
