Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul Haq is hoping his side can bounce back from their crushing second Test defeat when the five-match one-day series with South Africa starts in Sharjah on Wednesday.
With what he calls favourable conditions in the United Arab Emirates, Misbah is aiming to put the Dubai defeat by an innings and 92 runs behind him and hopes Pakistan can exploit the conditions.
"We have been really playing well in one-day cricket in the last three-four years, everybody knows what they are going to get against South Africa and these conditions are always in favour of Pakistan so we are looking forward to playing a good series," said Misbah.
But he warned against complacency as South Africa will be without spearhead bowler Dale Steyn, who is being rested, and Hashim Amla, who returned home as his wife has given birth, for the first two one-day games.
"I always feel that after such news the team gets complacent so if Amla does not play or Steyn doesn't play it doesn't make a difference, South Africa is one of the good teams in the world and have very strong replacements," said Misbah.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
