Toss New Zealand chose to field v South Africa
Brendon McCullum won the toss again, but this time he asked South Africa to have a bat in the first Twenty20 international to be played in East London. New Zealand had been rolled over for 86 in the first game in Durban after McCullum chose to bat.
Martin Guptill recovered from his stomach bug to come in at the top of the order in place of Peter Fulton. The hosts handed a debut to the left-arm spinner Aaron Phangiso, who had an impressive Champions League Twenty20 2012 for the Lions franchise. Phangiso replaced the injured allrounder Chris Morris. Dale Steyn was slated to play only the first match, and his place for the second was taken by Morne Morkel.
