Preview:
South Africa are in a must-win situation after losing the 1st ODI in the final over of the match. Rassie van der Dussen and Anrich Nortje were the top performers in the losing cause in the 1st ODI. They should back their abilities and play with a bit more freedom.
Pakistan held their nerves and sealed a 4-wicket victory in the 1st ODI to go 1-0 up in the series. If they continue this form, they are just one step away from winning this series. Pakistan will need their skipper Babar Azam to fire in the batting department again.

SA vs PAK Risky Captaincy Choices:
Andile Phehlukwayo has a done pretty good job in the 1st ODI with both bat and ball. He has been selected by most of 81.59% of users at the time of writing, but not many have picked him as the captain. He can be a good differential choice for captaincy.
Mohammad Rizwan is in good form at the moment but not a popular captaincy pick. You can take a risk by making Rizwan your captain.
Player you should avoid:
You can avoid picking Tabraiz Shamsi in your Dream11 fantasy team since Pakistan batsmen are good players of spin and the chances of picking wickets for Tabraiz Shamsi is less.
