There were couple of issues that we have seen in first test match ,the biggest one is the opening both the batting and the bowling.
Both Shaheen Shah Afridi and Hasan Ali were not able to perform well in bowling department. That area needs some consideration from team management.
If we talk about 2nd test match, played at Rawalpindi Stadium. the pitch historically suits seamers well compare to the spinners . As we have seen in domestic, seamers are getting more wickets than spinners.
Rawalpindi StadiumThe same batting line-up is going to play that we have seen from karachi. In bowling line-up we may have to drop one spinner. Yasir Shah is going to play as he is more experienced so can make a benefit out of it.
South African team seems very confident. The ground pitch is going to suit them better than karachi because they usually realy on seamers. There would be couple of changes in their bowling side, batting side would be the same.
Quinton de Kock might not play the role after managing just 74 runs in four Tests as captain. Things could hardly have been worse for de Kock, who was dismissed for a first-ball duck chasing a full.
