Between the second ODI South Africa and Pakistan comes on the back of a convincing win for the visitors in the opening match of the series. While the Proteas will be looking forward to winning the match and keeping the series alive, Pakistan will do everything they can to defeat the South Africans on their home soil once again and seal a series win. The South African side will have a few potential omissions for this match. David Miller ruled out due to calf strain in first ODI. Keshav Maharajreturn to the team is also uncertain. But Temba Bavuma is set to return after a much-needed rest in the first ODI. In such a situation, Mohammad Rizvan men will do everything in their power to damage South Africa’s prospects.
Pakistan South Africa Tour 2024-25, 2nd ODI:

Newlands Cricket Ground Pitch Report:
Historically, the pitch at Newlands Cricket Ground has supported spin bowling, as many South Africans hail from the Western Province, home of this picturesque cricket ground. However, the last Test match between India and South Africa on this ground proved to be a haven for pacers. Therefore, while the pitch is generally expected to support slow bowling, a surprising turnaround is expected.
