Pakistan, South Africa first ODI today
Pakistan will face South Africa in the first ODI of the three-match series today (Sunday).
CAPE TOWN (Agencies) - Pakistan and South Africa switch gears and lock horns in the first match of three one-day internationals today after drawing their T20 series 1-1.
Pakistan have looked far more competitive on South African surfaces than they did in the UAE. They pushed South Africa in the 1st T20 before rain interrupted play and their batsmen performed well in the second T20 to clinch the win.
The one-day game is a completely different format, though. In press conferences attended by Bleacher Report, both Misbah-ul-Haw and Mohammed Hafeez said that the win will boost their confidence leading into the first ODI while South Africa's coach Russell Domingo said it's a clean slate.
Instead, South Africa are looking to build on the momentum they have gained in the ODI format recently.
