South Africa vs UAE
With South Africa still waiting on news on of Vernon Philander's fitness, they were hit by a second injury concern, which could affect their balance further. Faf du Plessis' long-standing lower-back concern has flared up again which may mean Rossouw has to be deployed after, and not in place of, de Kock. If du Plessis is unavailable, that will also create room for one of Behardien or Parnell at No.7 with Philander and Kyle Abbott competing over No. 8. Phangiso may get a game in place of Imran Tahir, who has earned a rest.
South Africa (possible) 1 Hashim Amla, 2 Quinton de Kock (wk), 3 Faf du Plessis/Rilee Rossouw, 4 AB de Villiers (capt), 5 David Miller, 6 JP Duminy, 7 Farhaan Behardien/Wayne Parnell, 8 Vernon Philander/Kyle Abbott, 9 Dale Steyn, 10 Morne Morkel, 11 Aaron Phangiso
UAE have played the same XI in their last three matches and in the interests of consistency may not want to tinker with the team.
UAE (possible) 1 Amjad Ai, 2 Andri Berenger, 3 Krishna Chandran, 4 Khurram Khan, 5 Shaiman Anwar, 6 Swapnil Patel (wk), 7 Rohan Mustafa, 8 Amjad Javed, 9 Mohammad Naveed, 10 Mohammad Tauqir (capt), 11 Manjula Guruge
