Pakistan vs South Africa Predictions
Pakistan have got a major edge over South Africa in white-ball cricket at the moment, and without some of their first-choice players it’s hard to imagine the Proteas bouncing back to square the series.

Pakistan Form
Pakistan bounced back from losing the ODI series against the West Indies 2-1 by beating South Africa by two wickets in the 1st ODI of their three-match series.
After the Proteas got off to a flying start on a good batting strip, Naseem Shah (3/40) and Abrar Ahmed (3/53) reined them in. South Africa was bowled out for just 263 off 49.1 overs.
Despite a flurry of late wickets, Pakistan timed their chase perfectly, reaching 264/8 with two balls to spare. Fakhar Zaman (45) and Saim Ayub (39) got the innings off to a good start, but it was the 91-run stand for the fourth wicket between Mohammad Rizwan (55) and Salman Agha (62) that put Pakistan on track for the win.
Pakistan Team News
Naseem Shah has returned figures of 1/34, 2/28 and 3/40 in his three whiteball appearances against South Africa this series.
South Africa Form
South Africa made it two ODI defeats on the bounce when they lost to Pakistan by two wickets in the 1st ODI.
Debutant Lhuan-dre Pretorius scored an impressive 57 off 60 balls in a 98-run 1st wicket stand with Quinton de Kock (63 off 71). Matthew Breetzke (42 off 54) kept the innings rolling until a mini-collapse saw them in trouble at 228/8. Corbin Bosch chipped in with a vital 41 off 40 balls to lift South Africa to a below-par score of 263 off 49.1 overs.
Pakistan were racing to the win before a flurry of late wickets took the game into the final over, with Pakistan securing the two-wicket win with two balls to spare. Corbin Bosch (2/32) was the pick of the Proteas’ bowlers.
South Africa Team News
South Africa’s top-order is looking good but they are struggling to put big scores together. If they don’t turn that around in the 2nd ODI then they will lose the ODI series on the back of the T20I series.
Verdict
I am backing Pakistan to win. I am also backing Fakhar Zaman to top score for Pakistan and Naseem Shah as their best bowler.
Matthew Breetzke is a good bet to top score for South Africa.
