Pakistan and South Africa test at Rawalpindi is evenly poised and both the teams share equal honors on first day of the second test between South Africa and Pakistan. I still think Pakistan has an advantage in this test match too as South Africa will be batting last in this test match as well. The batting conditions in the fourth innings will be extremely difficult and Pakistan will do well if they can score 350 plus total in their first innings.
Saud Shakeel and Salman Agha partnership will be the key to Pakistan getting that 350 plus total. Keshav Maharaj is looking dangerous and South Africa were clearly missing him in the first test match. I think this test match will be a lot closer as South Africa has strengthened their bowling attack with the inclusion of Marco Jansen and Maharaj.
In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistani batsmen should take advantage of the better batting conditions in this test match.
