South Africa have played 28 matches at SuperSport Park, won 18 and lost 10. They have won batting first exactly half the time. Pakistan have won two matches at the ground, in 1993 and 1994. Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers still sit at No.1 and No.2 on the ODI batting rankings. Pakistan's highest ranked batsman is Umar Akmal at No.15 although he did not play in Bloemfontein. You get value for your shots in Centurion. In Bloemfontein, the strategy was to run Pakistan off their feet and we did that well but you have to protect the boundary here. It should be a high-scoring game.SuperSport Park will deliver a run fest according to AB de VilliersNormally wherever you go in one-day cricket, conditions are good for batting. The second T20 was really a wicket that suited Pakistan so if it is like that, it will really suit us.
