An upbeat South Africa will lock horns with a wounded Pakistan in the second One-Day International at Centurion on Friday.
South Africa will have all the momentum going into the second ODI after thumping the visitors by 125 runs in the first ODI.
As far as the visitors are concerned, they will look to regroup and perform well as a unit to level the five-match series.
Mohammad Irfan has been brought in and will be expected to trouble the South African batsmen with the steep bounce he can generate.
South Africa will hope to extend their lead and get a firm grip on the ODI series.
Teams:
South Africa: Graeme Smith, Hashim Amla, Colin Ingram, AB de Villiers (c/wk), Faf du Plessis, Farhan Behardien, Ryan McLaren, Robin Peterson, Dale Steyn, Kyle Abbott, Lonwobe Tsotsobe
