South Africa have made a number of changes as they look to bounce back from their opening defeat, with captain Ronwen Williams leading the side with Ikram Rayners, Oswin Apolis and Jayden Adams.

Czechia, meanwhile, have star striker Patrik Schick up front alongside Adam Hlozek, while captain Ladislav Krzyński takes charge of the defence. Tomas Holes and Vladimir Kofal also start in a team desperate for its first points of the tournament.

Since both teams lost their opening Group A matches, there is very little margin for error in Atlanta tonight. A defeat would leave knockout qualification hanging in the balance.

South Africa XI: Ronwen Williams (captain), Teboho Mokoena, Thalante Mbatha, Aubrey Modiba, Oswin Apolis, Thapelo Maseko, Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Ikram Rayners, Khuliso Mudau, Ime Okon, Jayden Adams.

Czechia XI: Matej Kovar, Tomas Holes, Robin Hranek, Vladimir Kaufal, Ladislav Krajci (captain), Vladimir Darida, Adam Hlozek, Patrik Schick, Lukas Serva, Michal Sadilek, Aleksander Sojka.
