RSA vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis
South Africa have sealed the 3-match T20I series with a win in the second outing at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. Both games have been high-scoring and the hosts had the upper hand on both occasions.
Pakistan looked good with the bat but looked dependent on a couple of players. Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayyub are the only promising batters in this squad. The rest of the lineup including Babar Azam failed to get going.
The Proteas will be confident of finishing the series on a winning note. While Reeza Hendricks has found his rhythm at the top with a hundred in the last outing, they have got the reliable Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen in the middle order.
The Wanderers is another high-scoring venue and we expect the batters to play a key role once again. The hosts have a strong middle order with experienced players who can deliver a big finish.

TEAMS PREVIEW
South Africa Preview
South Africa are leading 2-0 and will be out to finish a clean sweep in Johannesburg. Though it looks like a solid batting lineup overall with key players in great touch, there is one player whose form will be a concern.
Matthew Breetzke was out cheaply in both outings at number 3. All eyes will be on him to come good in the 3rd T20I and make a mark for himself. He averages just over 16 and has a strike rate of 122 from 10 T20Is.
Rassie van der Dussen was sent down to number 4 after he was out for a duck in the opening game. He found his rhythm in the second match scoring an unbeaten 66 off 38 balls to help South Africa win by 7 wickets while chasing a 207-run target.
David Miller was replaced by bowling all-rounder Dayya Galiem in the 2nd T20I. The right-arm fast bowler playing in his debut match picked up 2 for 21 from his 4 Overs. He could continue featuring in the XI for this game too.
George Linde is another key all-rounder to watch out for. His unbeaten 48 off 24 balls was crucial in taking South Africa to victory in the opening game. He later bagged 4 wickets in the game while defending 183 runs.
There are many in-form and promising players in the Proteas squad. The hosts will have a slight edge coming into this match.
South Africa Predicted Playing XI:
Ryan Rickelton (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Matthew Breetzke, Rassie van der Dussen, Heinrich Klaasen (c), Donovan Ferreira, George Linde, Dayyaan Galiem, Nqabayomzi Peter, Kwena Maphaka, Ottneil Baartman
South Africa Key Players From Previous Game Of Pakistan tour of South Africa, 2024
Pakistan Preview
Pakistan need to find other match-winners apart from Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayyub. Babar Azam was off to a steady start in the second match but failed to convert it into something more significant.
Azam isn’t the typical T20 player who can score quick runs and accelerate the pace of the innings. He is expected to anchor the innings from one end and build partnerships with others who come in to bat alongside him.
Rizwan and Saim Ayyub are in fine touch and will have their job cut out for them. They need to score big and haven’t got anyone else to rely on at the moment.
Usman Khan and Tayyab Tahir haven’t looked promising in the middle order though Irfan Khan’s 30 off 16 balls at number 6 will raise hopes for the visitors.
The middle and lower middle order features quite inexperienced players who haven’t played any impactful knocks.
Though the wicket offers a great opportunity for newcomers to step up and deliver a match-winning knock, it is never easy to settle and get going on South African pitches for visiting teams.
Haris Rauf is struggling with the ball and has been very expensive. Shaheen Afridi and Abrar Ahmed are the key wicket-takers to watch out for in this bowling attack.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It will be partly cloudy with a high of 18 degrees Celsius around the game in Johannesburg. Though there is a rain prediction for the next day, we don’t expect any interruptions during the 3rd T20I between the two sides.
RSA vs PAK Pitch Report
There is enough help for the batters on this wicket though its dryness might create some inconsistence bounce from a length. There will be pace on offer and the ball will come onto the bat nicely. The average 1st innings score in T20Is here is 176 runs. We reckon anything above 185-190 will be a highly competitive total on this pitch.
Toss: To Bat
Teams batting first have won 14 of the 27 T20Is played at this venue. Though there is no clear advantage to either batting or bowling first here, we reckon having runs on the board can put the team ahead in the contest. There is plenty of help for the batters and if the team batting first gets to a competitive score, they should have the upper hand in the second innings.
RSA vs PAK
Winning Prediction
Pakistan’s over-dependence on a few players and the lack of experience in the middle and lower middle order make things difficult for them. The hosts have a strong middle order with experienced players who can finish things on a high. South Africa will have the upper hand in this game and start as favorites in our match prediction.
