ABU DHABI: Rejuvenated Pakistan will clash South Africa in the second cricket Test at Sheikh Zayed Stadium here from today after outstanding batting show by Younis Khan and skipper Misbah-ul-Haq in Dubai.
Pakistan came from nowhere to hold powerful South African side to a draw after conceding a whooping 132-run lead. But Younis and Misbah’s undefeated 177 runs stand put Pakistan fragile batting on track. South Africa started the series as favorites. But unpredictable Pakistan has shown that they are capable of turning the tables when chips are down.Live Cricket Online
Pakistan is likely to make two changes in the team. Asad Shafiq would be replacing out of form Umer Akmal, who had scored just one half century in last 17 innings. From the pace bowlers Muhammad Sami or Muhammad Tanvir will join the playing XI in place of Wahab Riaz, who has flown back after side strain on the first day of the first Test in Dubai.
South Africans are unlikely to make any change in their line-up and inview of the pitch, they will go into the match with two spinners Paul Harris and Johan Botha.
