Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first at Iqbal Stadium. The second ODI has that tense feel even before a ball is bowled. Pakistan hold the edge after their win in the opener, but South Africa’s body language shows they’re far from backing down.

The surface looks firm and true. Early movement might test the top order, yet batting could get easier as the day wears on.

Pakistan Lineup

Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha, Hussain Talat, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Wasim Jr., Naseem Shah

South Africa Lineup

Quinton de Kock, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Tony de Zorzi, Matthew Breetzke, Sinethemba Qeshile, Donovan Ferreira, George Linde, Corbin Bosch, Bjorn Fortuin, Nandre Burger, Nqaba Peter
