Rilee Rossouw and Mthokozisi Shezi have been selected to make their ODI debuts, and will be the 112th and 113th caps for South Africa respectively.

South Africa XI: Faf du Plessis (captain), Quinton de Kock (wk), Rilee Rossouw, JP Duminy, David Miller, Ryan McLaren, Wayne Parnell, Kyle Abbott, Aaron Phangiso, Marchant de Lange, Mthokozisi Shezi.
