Pakistan vs South Africa Preview: Predictions & Tips

The high-flying Proteas take on Pakistan at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in what is quickly turning into a must win match for Babar Azam’s men. Pakistan reached a new low in their last match when they were comfortably beaten by their less fancied neighbours Afghanistan. They have now lost their last three matches after winning their opening two matches. The Proteas need another win to take a step closer to the semi-finals, having won four of their five matches.

Pakistan vs South Africa Match Prediction: who will win?

The South African batting lineup has been on fire with all three of the highest totals in the tournament made by them. Quinton de Kock has led the charge as he made a majestic 174 against Bangladesh in the last match, which was his third hundred in the World Cup. Pakistan were one of the favourites to make the top four but the poor performance of their key players has seen them slump to three consecutive defeats. The Proteas have arguably the strongest top six in the tournament therefore we are tipping them for the win. 

Pakistan vs South Africa Toss Prediction

The pitch conditions at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium were difficult for batsmen in the early part of the tournament but have got better as the tournament has progressed. The size of the ground makes defending a score very difficult therefore the team winning the toss should look to bowl first.

Pakistan vs South Africa Betting Preview

Pakistan failed to defend a decent total of 282 in their last match against Afghanistan, losing by 8 wickets. Their fast bowling pair of Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf have failed to provide breakthroughs for them, allowing teams to score big totals against them. Meanwhile, South Africa has recorded massive victory margins in their four wins which has seen them have the highest net run rate in the tournament. The Proteas have also bowled very well, with the likes of Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen regularly picking up wickets. Ultimately, the top six of South Africa will prove the difference between the teams, and we tip them for the win.
