Zimbabwe won the toss and put South Africa in to bat in the second of three one-day internationals on Tuesday.

The home team again opted to bowl first after asking South Africa to bat in a 93-run loss in the first game.

South Africa was unchanged at Queens Sports Club from the team that took a 1-0 series lead on Sunday. Zimbabwe made two changes, bringing in opening batsman Sikandar Raza for the out-of-form Vusi Sibanda and left-arm fast bowler Brian Vitori for Shingi Masakadza.

Both teams went with two specialist spinners. South Africa is resting its front-line pace bowling trio of Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander and Morne Morkel for the three-match series.
