South Africa, therefore, will be giving Thursday's match in Centurion must-win status. They gambled in the opening game by picking 20-year-old Wayne Parnell ahead of Makhaya Ntini, and by choosing to field first despite naming two specialist spinners in their XI. Graeme Smith, though, said after the 55-run defeat that he wouldn't have done anything differently. South Africa came into the tournament with no international 50-over match-practice since April and were found wanting. They cannot afford to be found wanting tomorrow.
New Zealand will be without two of their allrounders after Jacob Oram was ruled out with a hamstring injury and Ian Butler with a stomach bug. Butler has been unable to train with the team but is expected to play Sunday's game against Sri Lanka, while Oram needs a scan to have his hamstring damage assessed. "We're hopeful it's just a very minor tear but will have more information in 48 hours so he is out of the game," the coach Andy Moles said in the New Zealand Herald. The allrounder Brendon Diamanti is one option, while there is also a decision required on whether to play two spinners.
