Pakistan vs South Africa Predictions
South Africa’s form in T20Is has been patchy, and they are missing some first-choice players who are being rested for the Test tour to India. The ‘second-stringers’ pulled off a great performance in the 1st T20I, and there’s no reason why they won’t make it 2-0 in the second match of the series.
- South Africa’s Reeza Hendricks hits a T20I half century every 4.42 innings.
- South Africa’s Tony de Zorzi has scored 33, 104, 55 & 33 in his last 5 innings.
- Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan hit three sixes in his 38-ball 57 in the Asia Cup final.
- Pakistan’s Saim Ayub hit four sixes in his 28-ball 37 in the 1st T20I.
