The One Day International that is to be played on the 27th of November at the ground of St. Georges Park will be the second One Day International to be played in this short ODI tour of South Africa. The second game will be played at the back of the 1st One Day International which would have already decided the initial path of the series. If it is Pakistan who go on with a win then it would not be tough to declare that they will gain some points in the list of favorites for lifting the series. The same thing will be applicable for the South African Team.
Many analysts are of the thought that initially the South African team should be considered to be the most likely to win the series and the match but there is enough chances of getting a cracker of a tournament. The heat will be highly intensified if it is Pakistan who gets on the lead with a victory in their 1st game. Just like all the other stadiums in South Africa, even St. Georges Park is expected to assist the seam bowlers. Well in that case, both the teams have high quality seam bowlers who can seriously trouble the batsmen of both the sides.
The balance will be completely shifted in the side of South Africa if the players like Jaques Kallis, Abraham De Villiers and Dale Steyn strike form in the first ODI, then it will be actually quite difficult for the team Pakistan to get the hold in the game as well as the series. The same cannot be actually said about the Pakistan batsmen realizing the inexperience that they have in the majority of their lineup. Thus, the second ODI will be a lot more interesting as the team victorious from the 1st game will look to seal the series and the trailing team will put in its best efforts to level the series and take the competition down to the wire.
