Pakistani Test and ODI captain Misbah-ul Haq has warned his side against being complacent in the second Test against South Africa in Dubai despite winning the first Test in Abu Dhabi.

According to The Dawn, a confident Pakistan will look to their spinners to sweep the two-match series against a depleted South Africa when the second and final Test starts in Dubai on Wednesday.

However, Misbah, who is aiming to add to Pakistan's only series win over South Africa way back in 2003, warned that his men that they should not be complacent as they would be still playing against the top Test team in the world, adding that they are completely focused on the next game.

Denying that he wants a batting track in Dubai to draw the Test, Misbah also said that although they would want to exploit their 'home' advantage in the UAE, they also want a result, adding that whenever there a team has negative thoughts in their minds, they invariably fail in the matches.
