Pakistan vs South Africa, 2nd Test at Dubai - Preview

The first Test saw Pakistan stun South Africa at Abu Dhabi. Now, the number one ranked side in the world now has a challenge to bounce back in the second and final Test at Dubai. Read more on:

They have to square this series, but Pakistan are confident at their home away from home.
Pakistan's openers played a crucial role. Khurram Manzoor and Shan Masood gave a good start at Abu Dhabi in the first innings and setup a base for the victory. And what to say about Misbah ul Haq, he is the man in form and is always the dependable force. In the bowling they have Mohammad Irfan, Junaid Khan and Zulfiqar Babar. Not to forget Saeed Ajmal who will spin webs of his own.
South Africa's batting has to up the ante. Save Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers, the others don't have much to show from the first Test. So they need a team effort with the likes of Graeme Smith and Alviro Petersen taking responsibility. Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander and Morne Morkel are also the main men in the bowling department. So they have the strength and firepower to bounce back. By www.cricketcountry.com
