The second test match is scheduled to be played on 23rd October 2013 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.  This test match will be the game decider as who will win the test series. Since Pakistan had earlier lost their test matches against South Africa, therefore this time they will be a little alert and make sure that they do not commit any mistake. As both the teams have a strong batting line-up, it is difficult to predict the results, so the audiences will have to wait unless the match begins and you are able to catch the latest updates.

As this match is played in UAE, therefore Pakistan will have an advantage of the UAE being just like their home ground where lots of supporters turn out in large numbers. Supporters not only boost your confidence but keep your spirits high during the match. So if the people support your team, it is definitely a great experience to see them cheering for the team. Pakistan will get this benefit in the UAE and there are chances that they can win the test series as well. This is the second test match and also the last one, so it will be important that teams do not give up but strive hard to reach their aim. Pakistan and South Africa both have experienced players who can bring the match under control. It is all about how they use their skills and win the match for their audiences.

As test matches continue for five days, hence maintaining the fitness level is most important. The players have already started working hard at improving their skills so that they can stay active during the entire series and give their best performance. No matter how critical the conditions maybe, but the teams should focus on their aim and try to achieve it at any cost.
