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.

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.

South Africa is the favorite to win this match.
This match between Pakistan and South Africa should be fantastic on a fantastic batting wicket. Although Pakistan’s openers are quite good, there are concerns about the rest of their batting order. We forecast a South Africa victory because we believe their bowling attack will be too formidable.
