2nd ODI: Pak elect to bat against SA

DUBAI (United Arab Emirates): Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq won the toss and elected to bat first in the second one-day international against South Africa on Friday.

Scorecard

South Africa leads the five-match series 1-0 after a sensational 1-run victory in the low-scoring first game on Wednesday.

Pakistan kept faith in the same playing 11 despite losing the last six wickets for 17 runs in Sharjah while chasing 183 runs.

South Africa also named an unchanged squad, which means another chance for opening batsman Colin Ingram, who hasn't scored in his last three one-day internationals.

The Proteas are without its two key players. Hashim Amla flew back home after the first Test defeat last month to be with his pregnant wife. Fast bowler Dale Steyn will rejoin for the third one-day international after being rested.

Teams:

Pakistan: Misbah-ul-Haq (capt), Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Irfan, Nasir Jamshed, Saeed Ajmal, Shahid Afridi, Sohail Tanvir, Umar Akmal, Umar Amin, Wahab Riaz

South Africa: AB de Villiers (capt), Coiln Ingram, Jean-Paul Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, Ryan McLaren, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Graeme Smith, Lonwabo Tsotsobe
