SA desperate to draw level

After a morale-boosting five-wicket win in Port Elizabeth, Pakistan will look to build on the momentum and keep the pressure on South Africa when they collide again in the second ODI in Durban on Tuesday.

Pakistan, however, will expect their bowlers to strike early considering South Africa are not the type of team who will keep repeating the same mistakes.

After slipping to a five-wicket loss in the first ODI, South Africa will be desperate to draw level, and prevent the deficit from becoming even steeper in the five-match series.

South Africa lost just two wickets in the series opener in Port Elizabeth, but still couldn't breach the 300-run mark, ending the innings at 266/2. It was a target that Mohammad Hafeez, the Pakistan batsman, said his side were always confident of chasing, given it was "below par".
