Pakistan to bat first in World T20 Semi-final

Pakistan captain Younis Khan Pakistan: 149/4 (20.0 Ovs)

Pakistan have won the toss and elected to bat first on what is expected to be slow and low wicket during the first world T20 semi-final.Younis Khan, the Pakistan skipper said that the ‘Dry surface will make it hard to chase,’ adding that the team must play well, since ‘two more games and the World Cup is ours.’South African Captain Graeme Smith said that he would have ‘preferred to bat first,’ but that the Proteas would now have to bowl well to limit the Pakistan batting to ‘as small a total as possible.’Pakistan will play an unchanged side from the one which beat the Kiwis and Ireland to secure a place in the semis, while South Africa have made one change from the team which beat India, with the dangerous Kallis coming in for fast-bowler Morne Morkel.
