Predicting Pakistan’s Playing XI for their second ODI against South Africa 

Get a sneak peek at the Predicted Pakistan’s Playing XI for their second ODI against South Africa. The Pakistan side is all set to turn their fortunes against the South Africa side in the second ODI game of the three-match series, slated to take place on December 19 at Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town. The visitors will be looking to win this game, as this series marks their final preparation for the 2025 Champions Trophy.

The Pakistan side suffered defeat in the league stage and failed to enter the 2023 ODI World Cup knockout thriller, while the side suffered an early exit in the group stage in the 2024 T20 World Cup in the USA. However, Mohammed Rizwan and his men will be looking to defend their Champions Trophy 2025 title.

Here is the probable Pakistan’s Playing XI for the second ODI vs South Africa:

Openers: 

Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique will be opening for the Pakistan side. Shafique has been one of the most experienced players for the Pakistan side over the years, and he will be looking to give a great start to his side to help their side win the second ODI thriller.

Batters: 

Former Pakistan skipper Babar Azam and current skipper Mohammad Rizwan have been standout batters for the side over the years for Pakistan. The two right-handed batters possess the ability to single-handedly pose a big threat to the host’s bowlers and will be leaving no stone unturned in doing that.

All-rounders: 

Kamran Ghulam and Irfan Khan have been recently added to the national side and will be looking to showcase their form in this series. However, Salman Ali Agha can pose a big threat to the South African side with his bowling and batting performances in this game.

Bowlers: 

Shaheen Shah, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf have been great pacers for the Pakistani side over the years and will be looking to thwart the host’s batting unit. Shaheen, the left-arm pacer, and right-arm seamer Haris Rauf are the match winners for the Pakistan side in the limited-overs. Abrar Ahmed will be leading the spin department for the Pakistani side.
