ABU DHABI: South Africa’s stand-in captain Johan Botha won the toss Sunday and elected to bat against Pakistan in the second one day international at the Zayed Cricket Stadium. South Africa lead the five-match series 1-0 after an eight-wicket win on Friday.
South Africa beat Pakistan twice in a Twenty20 series on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Botha is standing in for Graeme Smith who is nursing a finger injury he picked up when a Shoaib Akhtar ball hit him during Friday’s game.
South Africa made two changes with Jacques Kallis, who retired after scoring 66 runs Friday because of dehydration following a viral infection, also missing the game.
Pakistan made one change with left arm fast bowler Wahab Riaz replacing Umar Gul.
Teams:
Pakistan: Shahid Afridi (captain), Mohammad Hafeez, Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq, Abdul Razzaq, Zulqarnain Haider, Wahab Riaz, Saeed Ajmal, Shoaib Akhtar, Fawad Alam, Asad Shafiq
South Africa: Johan Botha (captain), Hashim Amla, Robin Peterson, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Colin Ingram, Charl Langeveldt, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Albie Morkel, Lonwabo Tsotsobe
