South Africa and Pakistan will be facing each other in the first ODI of the three-match series on Tuesday (December 17). The game is scheduled to be played at the Boland Park, Paarl.
It will be the first game between the two sides at the venue since their only ODI meeting in Paarl way back in 2002. On that occasion, South Africa had inflicted a humiliating 9-wicket defeat on Pakistan. The Proteas will be eyeing a similar result in the upcoming South Africa vs Pakistan ODI as well.
The form and momentum are firmly with the home side. Earlier this month, the hosts won the three-match T20I series against Pakistan 2-0. South Africa won the first game by 11 runs while defending 183 runs. In the second game, they registered a thumping 7-wicket win while chasing a big total of 207 runs.
For Pakistan, nothing much has gone right on the tour so far. The Men in Green will be seeking a fresh start in the ODIs and will be desperate to make a winning start.
