- See off Mohammad Amir:
Mohammed Amir is the only real threat in the current Pakistan bowling line-up; especially in bowling with the new ball, he is right up there with the best. So seeing off his spell with the new ball is important for South Africa. South Africa would want its openers Amla and De Kock to take care of Amir in the power play, after which they can plunder runs during middle and death overs against the inexperienced Pakistani bowlers.
