Faisalabad: Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first against South Africa in the second ODI of the three-match series at the Iqbal Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
Having already claimed victory in the shorter-format series and secured a win in the opening ODI, Pakistan will aim to maintain their momentum and seal the series with another triumph.
Despite setbacks in recent ODI series against New Zealand and the West Indies, the hosts are eager to turn things around and settle scores with the visiting Proteas.
On the other hand, South Africa, fresh off an ODI series win against England, will be looking to bounce back. They aim to level the series and recover from their T20I series defeat and initial loss in this ODI contest.
