TOSS: Proteas Make Two Changes After Pakistan Win the Toss and Elect to Bat

Pakistan aims to clinch the ODI series after winning the toss and choosing to bat, with South Africa making key bowling changes for the second match, officials said.

  • With the series on the line Thursday, Pakistan cricket team won the toss and elected to bat in the second one-day international against South Africa cricket team.
  • After Tuesday's chase, Pakistan cricket team made two changes to its side, following a drawn Test series 1-1 and a Twenty20 series loss 2-1 on the tour.
  • Pakistan brought Faheem Ashraf, allrounder, replacing struggling middle-order batter Hasan Nawaz, and fast bowler Mohammad Wasim replaced leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed in the XI including Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, and captain Shaheen Shah Afridi.
  • South Africa left out fast bowlers Lungi Ngidi and Lizaad Williams and drafted in pace bowlers Nqabayomzi Peter and Nandre Burger, with Quinton de Kock and Matthew Breetzke leading the XI.
  • South Africa has lost every toss seven on the tour, an unusual streak noted by AP cricket covering the series-deciding match.
