On the other ha൩nd, South Af🎐rica shall focus on making a comeback. They have never lost a T20I series to Pakistan and would hope to stay with this record.
Pitch report:
Generally, the track at Gaddafi Stadium tends to offer flat decks. However, in the previous game, South African spinner Tabraiz Shamsi took out plenty of turns, ❀so one may expeಌct a similar display in the second T20I. Since it is another evening game, the dew will play its role.
Head to Head record:
Matches played: 15 | Pakistan: 7 | Soཧuth Africa: 8 | Tiꦉed: 0
Playing Combination:
Pakistan
Despite having a good Test series, Hasan Ali did not find a place in the playing XI of the first T20I. He might replace Mohammad Nawaz in the second conte🃏st. Nawaz did not have an impactful game in the𝐆 series opener.
PAK XI: Babar Azam (c), Haider Ali, Hussain Talat, Iftikha🅰r Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Faheem Ashraf, Usman Qadir, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammadꦐ Nawaz/Hasan Ali.
South Africa
Without most of their first-choice players, the visitors displayed tremendous fight while chasing the competitive score in the first T20I. The only concern for them is to score runs in the middle-overs and tackle leg-spin of Usman Qadir. It is expected that the 🐟Proteas would stick to the same combination.
SA XI: Heinrich Klaasen (c & wk), Jann♛eman Malan, Reeza Hendricks, Jacques Snyman, David Miller, Dwaine Pretorius, Andile Phehlukwayo, Lﷺutho Sipamla, Tabraiz Shamsi, Bjorn Fortuin, Junior Dala.
