24 Sep 2009


South Africa captain Graeme Smith won the toss and sent New Zealand in to bat Thursday in their ICC Champions Trophy limited-overs cricket international.

Smith said his side would have to bowl better than it did in an opening loss to Sri Lanka on Tuesday, and were hoping to exploit some early moisture around the ground.

South Africa: Graeme Smith (captain), Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Mark Boucher, Albie Morkel, Johan Botha, Roelof van der Merwe, Wayne Parnell, Dale Steyn.

New Zealand: Brendon McCullum, Jesse Ryder, Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Grant Elliott, Neil Broom, Gareth Hopkins, Daniel Vettori (captain), Shane Bond, Daryl Tuffey, Kyle Mills.

Umpires: Aleem Dar and Asad Rauf, Pakistan.

TV umpire: Daryl Harper, Australia.

Match referee: Roshan Mahanama, Sri Lanka.
