Pakistan vs South Africa Predictions

Pakistan have dominated South Africa in ODIs in the last year, but the Lhuan-dre Pretorius/Quinton de Kock opening partnership has given South Africa great confidence. They struggled on the track in the 1st ODI, but the win in the second ODI has the team looking like the real deal.

Pakistan Form

Pakistan’s winning streak against South Africa in ODIs ended when South Africa completed a comprehensive 8-wicket win over their hosts with 59 balls in hand.

Pakistan’s three dangermen were rolled over by an awesome display of fast bowling inside the first five overs. Saim Ayub (53 off 66) and Salman Agha (69 off 106) again both weighed in with vital runs, this time in a losing cause.

In desperation Pakistan called on eight players hoping to curb the Proteas’ batting onslaught. Mohammad Wasim (1/48, econ 6.00) was the pick of the Pakistan bowlers.

There are no injury reports from the Pakistan squad.

South Africa Form

South Africa finally broke Pakistan’s ODI stranglehold on them when they cracked the Pakistan attack to race to the win for the loss of just two wickets with almost 10 overs in hand.

ODI debutant Lhuan-dre Pretorius has immediately forged a powerful opening partnership with Quinton de Kock, putting on 98 and 81 for the first wicket in the opening two matches of the series.

Nandre Burger set up the win by single-handedly reducing Pakistan to 22/3 by the end of his third over. He finished with the match-winning figures of 10-0-46-4 (econ 4.60).

South Africa Team News

South Africa are suddenly looking like world-beaters with bat and ball after turning the corner in the 2nd ODI.

Verdict

Pakistan v South Africa

I am backing South Africa to win. I am also backing Quinton de Kock to top score for South Africa.

Salman Agha is a good bet to top score for Pakistan.
