Proteas to Bat; Raza, Peterson Play

Colombo: South Africa won the toss and elected to bat first in Super Eight match against Pakistan in Colombo on Friday.

South Africa have made one change from the team that beat Sri Lanka, the left-armer Robin Peterson replaces Faf du Plessis.

Pakistan have also made a change, replacing left-arm seamer Sohail Tanvir with left-arm orthodox spinner Raza Hasan.

So lots of spin to come today - South Africa have two and Pakistan four. Over-rate shouldn't be an issue at all.

South Africa: Richard Levi, Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, AB de Villiers (captain & wk), Jean-Paul Duminy, Albie Morkel, Farhaan Behardien, Robin Peterson, Johan Botha, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel
