PAK vs SA Preview

  • In a game played in Perth, South Africa defeated India with great difficulty.
  • In the match against India, Lungi Ngidi, Aiden Markram, and Wayne Parnell all displayed superb play for South Africa.
  • In a match played in Perth, Pakistan defeated the Netherlands easily.

 

In the 36th match of the 2022 T20 World Cup, South Africa and Pakistan square off at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). With two points from their first three games, Pakistan needs to win this match to remain in the competition. South Africa is the only unbeaten team in the competition and has won two games. At 19:00 local time, the Super 12 stage match begins.

Pakistan must win this match to maintain its chances of making it to the semifinal round. They must play at their peak to stand a chance because they are up against the most stunning squad in the competition.

Only Zimbabwe’s use of delaying strategies along with the rainy weather prevented South Africa from going undefeated. They bowl with depth and variety, and their batting is powerful.


PAK vs SA Weather Report

The game is expected to take place in partial cloud cover with a temperature of roughly 17 degrees. The humidity will hit 70% in the game’s second inning.


PAK vs SA Match Toss Prediction

The team that won the toss and decided to bat first has won the last two IT20 matches at the SCG. We anticipate that both captains will want to start the game by batting first.


PAK vs SA Pitch Report

A par score will be between 180 and 185 on this, one of the best batting tracks in the T20 World Cup this year. Both the fast bowlers and the spinners will receive some assistance.


Pakistan Team News & Probable Playing XIs

Before their first victory of the 2022 T20 World Cup and their first-ever triumph in an IT20 in Australia, Pakistan made one adjustment. Haider Ali was replaced by Fakhar Zaman. For this match, we anticipate seeing the same Pakistan XI.

South Africa Team News & Probable Playing XIs

We anticipate another significant choice to be made before this match by Temba Bavuma’s team, who have proven to be merciless in their selection calls. Earlier in the competition, Tabraiz Shamsi defeated Bangladesh at the SCG with a score of 3-20, but he was benched in favor of Lungi Ngidi, who claimed four wickets in Perth. For this match, Shamsi is expected to return to the starting lineup.
