Pakistan vs South Africa 1st T20, Live Streaming: Match Prediction
With Rawalpindi’s pitch expected to assist pacers under lights, Pakistan’s formidable bowling unit—led by Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah—could have the upper hand. Their familiarity with home conditions and batting depth make them slight favourites.
But South Africa’s combustible top order, comprising Quinton de Kock and Reeza Hendricks, can turn the game upside down if they acclimatize rapidly to subcontinental conditions.
Prediction: Pakistan to win a close, high-scoring match by a narrow margin.
