Form Guide
Pakistan will look to build on their winning start to the ODI series, having already claimed the T20I series against South Africa. Although they suffered recent ODI series defeats to New Zealand and the West Indies, the hosts will be keen to respond strongly and continue their momentum against the Proteas.
South Africa, meanwhile, will hope to bounce back and level the series following their T20I defeat and loss in the opening ODI. They head into this clash having recently won an ODI series against England but will need to recover their rhythm quickly.
Pakistan: W, L, L, W, L (most recent first)
South Africa: L, L, W, W, L
