More than bowling the unpredictable and inconsistent batting is a worry and gives you the biggest headaches
It is going to be the same ground where South Africa played against India today. Don't know about Thursday's wicket but today's pitch was a slow turner and having Fawad Alam in the side therefore makes more sense. 150+ is a must if we bat first and I won't like us to be chasing anything more than 140. SA made just 130 today and still won the game.
I know Tanvir can slog a bit but with Fawad in the side we bat down to no. 8.

hmm good points. i worry about having fawad bowl his first game against SA though, tanvir has atleast had some match practice. he didnt bowl bad in the first game, in the second i think he got injured or something. kher ur right that the track is spinning if its the same as they played on yesterday, so fawad would be the better option.
i wonder why they didnt utilize him in one of the matches instead of shoaib malik.
