First T20: Pakistan win toss, bowl first against South Africa
The familiar rivals will play two Twenty20s and three one-day internationals.
JOHANNESBURG (AP) - Pakistan won the toss and decided to bowl first in the tour-opening Twenty20 game in South Africa on Wednesday.
The familiar rivals will play two Twenty20s and three one-day internationals, which follows on immediately from South Africa s visit to the United Arab Emirates. South Africa won both the ODI and T20 series in the UAE, while the test series was drawn 1-1.
Pakistan has injury problems for the opening game of the return series at Johannesburg s Wanderers and gave allrounder Bilawal Bhatti his international debut. South Africa rested one-day captain AB de Villiers but recalled fast bowler Morne Morkel.
Wednesday s start was delayed for around half an hour for rain but there was no reduction in overs.
