With 12 wickets, Kwena Maphaka is the leading wicket taker for South Africa in this calendar year.

Pakistan vs South Africa Chance of Winning

Pakistan lost the series against New Zealand back in March 4-1 but since then they have done well in this format. Pakistan were brilliant in the Asia Cup as they made the finals and lost against India and would be hoping to carry on their form in this series. Pakistan drew the Test series against South Africa 1-1.

South Africa have struggled in the T20i this season. They head into this series after just one win in the last three matches. In the last match they lost against Namibia which was one of the biggest shocks in recent times. As per our calculations, Pakistan are favourites in the upcoming game.

Pakistan’ chances of winning - 56%
South Africa’ chances of winning - 44%

Pakistan vs South Africa Betting Odds

Pakistan to have a better opening partnership than South Africa

Pakistan and South Africa went head to head in the two match Test series prior to the T20 series and both sides managed to share the spoils. Pakistan has been impressive in the T20 format since they lost against New Zealand 4-1 back in March. Since then they have won series against Bangladesh and West Indies and made the Finals in the Asia Cup. On the other hand, South Africa has struggled to make an impact in the T20 format as they have lost three of the last four matches. We believe South Africa will continue to struggle in the subcontinent and considering the fact Pakistan top order has done well thus far, we expect Pakistan to have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
