Team Preview of South Africa vs Pakistan 1st ODI Match Prediction 2024

After the T20I series, both teams will start their ODI series, which will be very important for both teams. As the ICC Champions Trophy approaches, every international team will play with their best XI, and that is what South Africa did, as they brought back all their main players into the squad.

South Africa will miss some big bowling names like Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi, Gerald Coetzee, Nandre Burger, and Wiaan Mulder, who are going to be out for this series due to injuries that weaken the South Africa pace bowling lineup.

Some of the players will play an ODI match after a year, like Tabraiz Shamsi, who did not play any games after last year’s World Cup. However, only one young player, Kwena Maphaka, got the maiden ODI call after displaying a decent performance in the two T20I.

Temba Bavuma will lead the side, and after an amazing test series, he will be looking more confident to perform in the ODI, too, after being out of the squad due to some injuries in the past.

From the Pakistan side, Abdullah Shafique and Naseem Shah are included in the ODI squad alongside Usman Khan, who is likely not to get the chance after his poor performance in the T20I for the Pakistan team in the match against South Africa and Australia.

Kamran Ghulam will be looking for another chance after his century in the last ODI match against Zimbabwe, and he is one of Pakistan’s most technically sound players. He can also do some bowling for them as the Orthodox left-arm spinner.
