Preview

The South African side is all set to turn their fortunes against Pakistan in the first ODI of the three-match series slated to take place on December 17 at Boland Park, Paarl. This series comes after the Proteas resounding 2-0 victory in the T20I series, which ended on a disappointing note as the final match in Johannesburg was abandoned due to heavy rainfall.

Mohammad Rizwan and his men will be eager to recover from their T20I setback and make a strong start in the ODIs to gain momentum ahead of the two-match Test series commencing on Boxing Day. On the other hand, Temba Bavuma and his men will look to use their home advantage and ride on high confidence after the T20I series win.

With the action shifting to the ODIs after the T20I series, the two teams will look to fine-tune their teams and strategies as they prepare for future tournaments.

Injury and availability news

From the host's camp, Kagiso Rabada has marked his return to the ODI squad. Star batters David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen have also found a spot for the first time since December 2023. Kwena Maphaka has also earned his maiden ODI call-up. Meanwhile, Anrich Nortje missed out on the selection due to injuries. With Anrich Nortje sidelined, the list of the injured pacers has stretched, given that Lungi Ngidi, Nandre Burger, Lizard Williams, and Gerald Coetzee are also out.

Pitch Report

Boland Park has historically favoured the batters. Five of the last six ODI games have seen 250+ scorelines. However, the bowlers do get some respite in the latter part of the game. The bowlers enjoy help from the surface during the run chase.
