South Africa vs Pakistan 2nd ODI Live Scores | SA vs PAK 2nd ODI Live Scores & Commentary

The action shifts from Paarl to Cape Town now as South Africa prepare to bounce back in this series. They were a bit under par in the first ODI with a score of 239 and a Salman Agha inspired Pakistan managed to chase that down in the last over. South Africa’s middle order proved to be their stumbling block as low scores from van der Dussen.

Markram and Stubbs proved to be their undoing. That experienced middle order will hope to come to the fore today with the series on the line. Pakistan’s veterans Babar and Rizwan haven’t really set the stage on fire yet out here with youngster Saim Ayub being the brightest spark for the visitors. They needed Saim and Salman Agha with the ball as well in the first ODI and the likes of Shaheen and Naseem would hope to share that load on this occasion.

Temba Bavuma: Will bowl first might be a bit slow and sticky. Will skid on under lights. We want o restrict them to a low target and trust our batting. We have got four changes - myself Miller Fortuin and Maphaka are coming in. Maphaka makes his debut. Stubbs goes out so does Rickelton and Baartman. Rabada has been rested.

It is a bit of a balancing act we need to give ourselves the best opportunity to him. But it is important to manage the workloads of the bowlers. A lot of the batters aren't coming from long format cricket so need to give them opportunities. We need to get more runs one amongst the top four needs to score big. Just want to keep increasing the intensity.

Mohammad Rizwan: Same team for us. I am happy with the victory but the way the guys did since the last 2 months we are following a process. We decide after going to the ground whatever the situation demands we have to adjust to that. Normally I like chasing but we will have to do whatever the game demands. We believe in each other and we feel 280+ would be enough on this ground. South Africa vs Pakistan 2nd ODI Live Cricket Score Commentary.
