One, Pakistan need to look at their bowling department and consider playing an extra quick bowler after they went into the opener with only two of them. On a pace-friendly track they fell very short of defending against the South African batsmen.
Secondly, the batting needs to improve but that is something that has been said about them throughout the tour. In a format that they prefer over the Tests, the general feeling was that they would do a better job with the bat but the pressure of chasing such a big total probably put paid to their plans.

Colin Ingram’s picture perfect century on Sunday has seen him make a strong claim for a permanent position at first drop, despite coming in at number four as AB de Villiers promoted himself to three. What is worrying is the fact that Ingram has a fantastic record in Bloemfontein and against Pakistan, which often conspires to mask the fact that he has been pretty inconsistent at international level. South Africa will welcome back Dale Steyn who should be fit for this game which means that Kyle Abbott could be left out of the side. In the absence of any other injuries the same side could otherwise be played with Graeme Smith and Hashim Amla batting at the top of the order and Faf du Plessis buffering up their middle. Morkel is still in doubt with a hamstring injury.
Teams:
South Africa (probable) 1 Graeme Smith, 2 Hashim Amla, 3 Colin Ingram, 4 AB de Villiers (capt & wk), 5 Faf du Plessis, 6 Farhaan Behardien, 7 Ryan McLaren, 8 Robin Peterson, 9 Rory Kleinveldt, 10 Dale Steyn/Kyle Abbott, 11 Lonwabo Tsotsobe.
Pakistan (probable) 1 and 2 Nasir Jamshed/Kamran Akmal/Mohammad Hafeez, 3 Younis Khan, 4 Misbah-ul-Haq (capt), 5 Asad Shafiq, 6 Shoaib Malik, 7 Shahid Afridi, 8 Umar Gul, 9 Saeed Ajmal, 10 Junaid Khan, 11 Mohammed Irfan.
