Bafana Announce Starting XI For Plate Final

Bafana Bafana have announced their starting for today’s COSAFA Cup plate final.

Helman Mkhalele has made eight changed to the side that beat Madagascar 2-1 on Friday to book their ticket in the fifth-place playoff.

There are six news caps in the starting line-up.

Botswana, meanwhile beat Eswatini 2-0 to book their place after losing their quarter-final on penalties to Zambia.

It will be Botswana’s sixth match at the COSAFA Cup after they collected three 1-0 wins in the group stage, while Bafana only entered at the quarter-final stage but lost to Mozambique.

Here is how they line up:

Bafana XI: Mzimela, Mahlangu, Johannes, Cele, Mcaba, Ndhlovu, Human, Shezi, Van Wyk, Mashigo, Malivha
