DHAKA: Pakistan is set to face host South Africa at St George`s Park, Port Elizabeth ground at Cape Town on Wednesday.  

The match will start at around 2:00pm (Bangladesh Time).

Twenty two years and 16 days ago, South Africa played their first ODI. On Wednesday, they will compete in their 500th, reports cricinfo.com

It may seem as though Pakistan have played South Africa for the majority of those ODIs and they are almost correct. Only Australia have competed in more ODIs against South Africa - 80; Pakistan are in second place with 69 matches.

They are the team that has played South Africa most in 2013, with 12 ODIs already contested. By Saturday that number will be 14 - the most any team has played against South Africa in a year.

Earlier on November 24, Pakistan won by 23 runs against South Africa in their 1st ODI in three-match ODI Series.
