Captains Thought's 

Imran Tahir: "We are going to bowl first. The weather is gloomy, the outfield is wet and there's forecast of rain later in this game. We are in a good touch and we want to check our strength bowling first. We have two changes. Tim Robinson and Shamar comes in."

Faf du Plessis: "Similar choice was for me too. I think it is generally a good and high scoring one. We will look to post as much as runs possible on the board. We, the foreign players who came here, found the conditions new. This stadium is really good to bat.
