south africa They will be eyeing a clean sweep when they lock horns against Pakistan in the second and final Test of the ongoing Test. series. The match is scheduled to be played from Friday (January 3) at Newlands, Cape Town.
The win helped the South African team create history as they booked their place in the World Test Championship final for the first time. Set a target of 148 runs for a place in the WTC final, South Africa got off to a disastrous start. They were reeling at 19/3 early in the chase.
Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma stopped the rot for a while before the hosts suffered another collapse and were reduced to 99/8. The match looked done and dusted for the hosts at that stage before Marco Jansen and Kagiso Rabada shared an unbeaten 51-run stand to take their side to the finish line.
With South Africa looking for another win, we are taking a look at the South Africa playing 11 for the second SA vs PAK Test.
Tony de Zorzi and Aiden Markram look set to open for South Africa playing 11 for the second Test. While de Zorzi is expected to retain his place in the team, he will be keen to bounce back and put in a good batting display after failing twice in the first Test.
The left-hander scored 2 runs in each of the two innings as he could not give his team a good start. On the other hand, Markram had a good game. The South African star impressed in both innings and was awarded the Player of the Match for his crucial knocks.
He top-scored in the first innings, scoring 89 runs before playing a crucial knock of 37 runs in the second innings. With form on his side, Markram will be hoping for another good start in the next test.
Ryan Rickelton will be desperate to do well in the next test after failing to impress in the first test. The left-handed batsman failed to get going in both innings, scoring 8 and 0. However, he is expected to retain his place in the South Africa Playing 11.
Tristan Stubbs also had a game to forget. In both innings, the Proteas star did not fare well with the bat and was out for 9 and 1.
In-form Temba Bavuma managed to lead his side from the front once again as he made useful contributions with the bat in both innings. In the first innings, the South African skipper scored 31 runs before scoring 40 in the second innings. He was South Africa’s top run-scorer in the second innings.
South Africa are likely to make a change to their playing 11. Wiaan Mulder, who missed the first Test through injury, could replace David Bedingham in South Africa’s playing 11 for the second Test. Bedingham has not scored a 50 in his last 6 innings and could be dropped from the team.
Kyle Verreynne will be the keeper for the team and will look to do well after scoring 2 runs in each of the two innings. Marco Jansen and Corbin Bosch they are expected to be the two main all-rounders in South Africa’s Playing 11.
Bosch impressed on his debut, taking 4 wickets in the first innings before scoring an unbeaten 81. On the other hand, Jansen took 6 wickets in the second innings before scoring an unbeaten 16.
Kagiso Rabada and Dan Paterson They are likely to be the two top-line pacers in South Africa Playing 11. Paterson picked up 5 wickets in the first innings and 1 wicket in the second. On the other hand, Rabada picked up 2 wickets in the game besides playing a match winning knock of 31 runs.
