One-day international, Centurion:
South Africa v Pakistan
Match starts 0800 GMT Sunday
South Africa and Pakistan will ring the changes for the opening game in their best of five one-day series in Centurion on Sunday.
Key players from both sides sat out Friday's Twenty20 game, which the home side won by 10 wickets.
Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq faces a pre-match check on a back problem.
But the tourists look certain to recall new ball bowler Mohammad Asif, who took 19 wickets in the recent Test series, and batsman Mohammad Yousuf.
South Africa, meanwhile, will be reinforced by the return of Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher, Makhaya Ntini and Andre Nel.
They have won 11 out of 16 previous one-dayers against Pakistan on home soil and having dominated India last December, will be looking to repeat that form just six weeks ahead of the World Cup.
But Pakistan vice-captain Younis Khan has played down the significance of the Twenty20 result.
"We had new boys in the team who are not used to playing in South Africa," he said.
South Africa (from): Graeme Smith (capt), Jacques Kallis, Loots Bosman, Mark Boucher, AB de Villiers, Herschelle Gibbs, Andrew Hall, Justin Kemp, Charl Langeveldt, Andrè Nel, Makhaya Ntini, Robin Peterson, Shaun Pollock, Ashwell Prince, Roger Telemachus.
Pakistan (from): Inzamam-ul-Haq (capt), Younis Khan, Mohammad Hafeez, Yasir Hameed, Imran Nazir, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Yousuf, Shahid Afridi, Kamran Akmal, Abdul Razzaq, Zulqarnain Haider, Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, Mohammad Asif, Abdul Rehman, Shabbir Ahmed, Imran Farhat, Mohammad Sami.
