South Africa Wins Toss And Bats First In Second Test Against Pakistan

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and elected to bat first in todays second and final Test against Pakistan at a blustery Newlands as the home side seeks to claim the series 20.

Its hot and we expect the wicket to break up, we want to finish the series on a good note, Bavuma said.

Pakistan skipper Shan Masood said his side were happy to bowl first.

A bit less grass than usual on the wicket but we would have had a bowl anyway, he said. Both teams got what they wanted.

South Africa handed a debut to firebrand 18-year-old fast bowler Kwena Maphaka as one of three changes to their side from the tense two-wicket win in the first test in Pretoria.
