In the second ODI at Wanderers, South Africa will again look up to Imran Tahir to cause the West Indies' batsmen a few problems. It was clear from the last game that the Windies batsmen struggled to pick Imran Tahir's googly. But it has to be said that the track at Wanderers isn't renowned for offering assistance to the spinners.Today is also known as the 'Pink Day'.

West Indies won the toss elected to field in the second ODI at Wanderers. Both teams remain unchanged. For South Africa, openers started on a good note. Hashim Amla in particular, looked in fine touch as he used his wonderful wrists to great effect to play shots square off the wicket on either side. The Windies pacers, including Jerome Taylor, their spearhead, weren't able to generate swing with the white new ball.

With the Windies pacers not able to find any movement in the air or off the track, Benn, the slow left-arm orthodox, came into the attack. West Indies' pacers just lack the penetration to take wickets at regular intervals.

Amla, with his languid grace, completed a fine fifty. It was his 27th fifty in his ODI career. It was a typical innings from the right-hander as he used his wrists to keep the scorecard ticking. His partner, Rossouw, was given out lbw but he took the review and on replay, it was clear that he had edged the delivery. So, the decision was overturned.
