pak vs sa Match Prediction & Analysis
South Africa will face Pakistan in match 36 of the International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup 2022 in Sydney on Thursday.
South Africa will enter the contest as firm favourites, especially after getting the better of an in-form India team in their previous outing.
The most pleasing thing for the management will be to see the performance of the middle-order against the Men-in-Blue when in difficult conditions after losing early wickets, the middle-order stood up and made themselves count.
Both teams have faced off 21 times in the history of the format where the Men-in-Green have a slight edge with 11 wins compared to the Proteas 10 victories.
Pakistan’s record is even more superior when teams faced off in the ICC T20 World Cup where the side won in all three meetings.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Pakistan Preview
On the other hand, Pakistan will be entering the contest as an underdog after managing to win just one out of the three games, which included a defeat against Zimbabwe.
That result have put things out of Pakistan’s control in their quest to play in the semi-finals as now they are depending on other results to keep their last-four hopes alive.
The form of captain Babar Azam is another cause of concern for the management as the right-hander has not even scored in double figures in the competition despite playing three innings.
The management will be hoping to see the players including the skipper to produce their A-game when they will face opposition like South Africa on Thursday.
In the batting department, the onus will be on the likes of captain Babar, wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan, Shan Masood, Fakhar Zaman and Iftikhar Ahmed to score the bulk of the runs and give the bowling something substantial to defend.
In the bowling department, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Haris Rauf, Naseem Shan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Wasim Jnr along with the spin duo of Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz to produce timely breakthroughs and restrict the opposition.
Pakistan Predicted Playing XI:
Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Babar Azam (c), Shan Masood, Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah

South Africa Preview
The coaching staff will be hoping to see the players to continue producing similar kinds of performances in the matches to come.
One thing which remains a cause of concern for everyone involved will be the form of Captain Temba Bavuma who has only managed to score 14 runs in three innings in the mega-event.
In the batting department, the onus will be on the likes of in-form players like wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock, top-order batter Rilee Rossouw, veteran David Miller, exciting Tristan Stubbs and explosive Aiden Markram to score the bulk of the runs and give the bowlers something to bowl with.
On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Kagiso Rabada, Wayne Parnell, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi along with the spin duo of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi to restrict the opposition by claiming timely breakthroughs.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
With early showers in the morning, the wicket might have something for the quick bowlers. The spinners do get assistance on a typical SCG pitch. The batsman will need to see off new-ball to pile on the runs on this surface.
Venue Details
Sydney Cricket Ground is going to host the 36th match of the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup between Pakistan and South Africa
South Africa will take heart from the fact that they have won their previous match played at Sydney Cricket Ground.
Toss: To Bat
Both the teams will be keen to win the crucial toss, bat first and post a score in excess of 170 runs. All four T20 World Cup matches played at SCG have been won by side batting first.
PAK vs SA
Winning Prediction
Both teams will enter the contest with contrasting morale. History suggests that Pakistan have an edge, especially because they’ve never lost to South Africa in the T20 World Cup but recent form suggest that Proteas will be too hot to handle.
On paper, there is no reason to suggest that the Bavuma-led unit will falter against this Pakistan team where there is a clear lack of confidence at the moment.
Expect South Africa to eke out a close win over Pakistan at SCG.
