The Pakistan cricket team will leave Lahore for Karachi today to play the second match of the tri-nation ODI series.  

The team will hold a training session tomorrow at the National Cricket Stadium in Karachi, where they will face South Africa on February 12.  

In the opening match of the series yesterday, Pakistan suffered a defeat against New Zealand.  

Meanwhile, sources report that fast bowler Haris Rauf is feeling better, but the team management is reluctant to take a risk by playing him against South Africa.  

It is likely that Rauf will be rested for the match, with a final decision to be made based on his MRI reports.  

Additionally, the second match of the tri-series will take place tomorrow between South Africa and New Zealand.
