After a thumping 3-0 Test series win, South Africa will take on Pakistan in the first of five ODIs in Port Elizabeth today and will look to stretch their winning spree.

South Africa have rested Quinton de Kock and Dale Steyn for the first two ODIs and with the 2019 World Cup only 4 months away, new players like Rassie van der Dassen, Duanne Olivier have golden opportunities to cement their places for the mega event.
