Rawalpindi Test: Pakistan win toss; opt to bat first against South Africa

Rawalpindi [Pakistan], October 20 : Pakistan captain Shan Masood won the toss and elected to bat first against South Africa in the second and final Test of the series, which is being played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium here on Monday.
Pakistan have made only one change as they have given a debut cap to Asif Afridi. On the other hand, the visitors have made two changes as they brought in Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj in place of Mulder and Subrayen, respectively.
The hosts currently lead the two-match series 1-0 as they won the first match at Lahore against the Aiden Markram-led side by 93 runs. They will be looking to clean-sweep the series by winning this match.
After winning the toss, Shan Masood said, "A bit on the drier side, but we don't know how it is going to play, so it's best to bat first. The toss doesn't decide everything; we still have to execute well. We have to take it session by session. Just one change - Asif Afridi makes his debut today."
At the time of toss, Proteas skipper Aiden Markram said, "We would have liked to bat first as well. We got a couple of lessons from the first innings in the previous game, and we need to learn from them. We have got world-class spinners in our ranks, and they would like to make the best use of the conditions. Two changes for us - Jansen and Maharaj come in, and unfortunately. Mulder and Subrayen miss out."
