Preview

South Africa (SA) is all set to lock horns against Pakistan (PAK) in the second ODI of the three-match series slated to take place on December 19 at Newlands Stadium in Cape Town. The visitors have won the series-opening game and will be looking to win this game to seal the series after suffering a shambolic whitewash against the hosts in the T20Is. On the other hand, this game now becomes a must-win for the Proteas. However, the forthcoming second ODI game offers an opportunity for the home team to come back roaring and level the series.

Surprisingly, the home team went down in the series-opening game. After batting first, the South African team struggled to weather Salman Agha's fiery spell and was just able to post 239 in the given 50 overs. During the chase, Pakistan lost back-to-back wickets of Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan, but opening batter Saim Ayub's remarkable ton and Salman Agha's crucial 82 off 90 balls steered the Men in Green to win the match by three wickets.

Injury and availability news

Temba Bavuma missed the first ODI as he manages his workload ahead of two crucial Tests. Aiden Markram was the skipper in the ODI opener in Paarl, but it has come yo note that Bavuma set to return later in the series. In addition, Keshav Maharaj was set to be in the XI for the first ODI against Pakistan but limped off just before the toss. There is no update on his return. 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. On the other hand, Pakistan are playing with their full strengthen squad.

Pitch Report

The surface at Newlands traditionally offers some assistance to seamers, especially under overcast conditions. Spinners, too, tend to get some grip and turn as the game progresses, particularly in the second innings. Teams batting first will aim for totals in the range of 260–280, with 300+ being a competitive target.
