However, the weather forecast will have a major say in the final selection. Colin Ackermann is set to make his debut, while Matthew Breetzke is also under consideration with South Africa, which could go with two spinners depending on the conditions.

Bavuma will take the final call after getting a clearer picture of the weather before the match on Sunday. Amid this, Aiden Markram fitness update: South Africa star misses training ahead of 2nd Test vs Australia.
