Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd Test Playing 11, toss time, live streaming

South Africa's plans could include the return of Keshav Maharaj, who has recovered from a groin injury, adding strength to their spin department.

South Africa are looking to bounce back in the 2nd and final Test against Pakistan at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, starting today, after losing the series opener by 93 runs, where they failed to chase down a target of 277. The hosts Pakistan won the coin flip for the match and opted to bat first. Pakistan made a big change in their playing 11 as they have handed Asif Afridi his maiden Test cap. 

 

South Africa also made two changes in their squad as Keshav Maharaj and Marco Jansen are back in the Proteas playing 11.

 

As for the pitch, Rawalpindi’s surface is expected to be flat, favoring the batsmen early on. However, much like the first Test, spinners are expected to play a significant role from Day 1, with the pitch likely to offer some turn. Weather-wise, the forecast is clear for all five days, with mild cloud cover expected on Day 3, making for an exciting contest ahead.
