ICC T20 World Cup cricket match: Pakistan vs South Africa preview

Team news Pakistan played the same XI in both their group matches and with two good results should keep the same team. Pakistan : 1 Mohammad Hafeez (capt), 2 Imran Nazir, 3 Nasir Jamshed, 4 Kamran Akmal (wk), 5 Umar Akmal, 6 Shoaib Malik, 7 Shahid Afridi, 8 Yasir Arafat, 9 Sohail Tanvir, 10 Umar Gul, 11 Saeed Ajmal South Africa also won both their matches, although they fielded different XIs, with the change being in the batting line-up. Faf du Plessis was given an opportunity to bat at No. 3 against Sri Lanka and scored 13 in a reduced game. He is the likeliest to be left out as South Africa opt for two spinners on a pitch that should take more turn than was on offer in Hambantota. South Africa (probable): 1 Richard Levi, 2 Hashim Amla, 3 Jacques Kallis, 4 AB de Villiers (capt & wk), 5 JP Duminy, 6 Farhaan Behardien, 7 Albie Morkel 8 Johan Botha 9 Robin Peterson 10 Morne Morkel, 11 Dale Steyn Date: 28 September 2012

Good Luck Pakistan.. Pakistan have chance if following things happen... Razzaq in for Tanveer and Nazir needs to play up to 10 overs.....Afridi coming up the order number4 or even open with Nazir... Pak have to take chance for this game and let Afridi lead from front... Good Luck....
