Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat in the second one-day international against South Africa on Thursday.
South Africa’s poor luck at the toss continued, having lost all seven tosses so far on the Pakistan tour. The teams earlier drew the Test series 1-1, while South Africa dropped the Twenty20 series 2-1. Pakistan can seal the ODI series with a win in this match.

The hosts made two changes from the side that successfully chased 264 in the opening ODI on Tuesday. Allrounder Faheem Ashraf came in for out-of-form middle-order batter Hasan Nawaz, and fast bowler Mohammad Wasim replaced leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed.
South Africa also made two alterations, resting pacers Lungi Ngidi and Lizaad Williams and bringing in quicks Nqabayomzi Peter and Nandre Burger.
Lineups:
Pakistan: Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha, Hussain Talat, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Nawaz, Shaheen Shah Afridi (captain), Naseem Shah, Mohammad Wasim.
