Pakistan vs South Africa Betting Odds

Pakistan to have a better opening partnership than South Africa

Pakistan and South Africa go head to head for both sides had contrasting form in the last WTC cycle. South Africa were arguably the best teams in the last cycle as they made the finals where they beat Australia. South Africa would be hoping to carry on their form as they head into this game after ten wins in a row which includes back to back wins against Pakistan. On the other hand, even though Pakistan have struggled for consistency in Tests, they have looked decent at home and have won three of the last four matches. South Africa have struggled in the subcontinent and we expect Pakistan to dominate the game with the new ball and will have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
