PAK vs RSA 36th Match Probable winners:

Pakistan have a line-up full of talent but all too often they are unable to perform on a consistent basis. South Africa have been playing strong T20 cricket all year and look to be peaking at the right time. This should be a brilliant contest between Pakistan and South Africa on an excellent batting wicket. Although Pakistan have very strong openers, there are question marks against the rest of their batting line-up. We expect that South Africa’s bowling attack will be too strong and are predicting a South Africa victory. Considering the team combination, South Africa is expected to win this match.
