Summary The South Africans have made two player changes, with Quinton de Kock replacing Smith.


JOHANNESBURG (AP) - Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first in the series-deciding one-day international against South Africa in Benoni near Johannesburg on Sunday.

 

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq said there would be pressure on the South Africans batting second and chasing with the five-match series level at 2-2 before the last game at Willowmoore Park.

 

Pakistan s team is unchanged from its victory in Durban in the week as it looks to set up a chance at a rare away ODI series win in South Africa.

 

The South Africans have made two player changes, with Quinton de Kock replacing injured opening batsman Graeme Smith and fit-again fast bowler Morne Morkel coming in for Rory Kleinveldt.
