Tony de Zorzi, the opening batsman for South Africa, was rested for today's match after hurting his knee after a sliding stop in the deep during the first ODI. He has been excluded as a precaution after having an MRI on Thursday, which showed a soft tissue damage in his right knee.
Bavuma moves up to open alongside Ryan Rickelton, who scored a vital 91 in the previous game, while Kyle Verreynne replaces him. Due to a lumbar stress response, Nandre Burger, who did not participate in the first game of the series, will miss the rest of the tour as well as South Africa's next two-match Test series against Bangladesh.
Ireland selected the same starting lineup from the first ODI despite losing by 139 runs.
Temba Bavuma (capt), Rassie van der Dussen (wk), and Ryan Rickelton (wk) are the South African players. 4 Kyle Verreynne, 5 Tristan Stubbs, Eight Bjorn Fortuin, nine Lizaad Williams, ten Lungi Ngidi, eleven Ottneil Baartman, and seven Wiaan Mulder.
