Pakistan vs South Africa Match Predictions and Betting Tips

After the Test series, Pakistan is set to play against South Africa in the 3 match series to be held at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi on Thursday, February 11. On that note, I have put together the best PAK vs SA betting tips to earn you quick bucks.

The Test series have come to an end with Pakistan winning both the matches. Pakistan defeated South Africa in the first Test by 7 wickets and by 95 runs in the second Test respectively. This is Pakistan's only second test series win over South Africa in 12 attempts, having lost eight and drawn three.After facing a disappointing loss in New Zealand, Pakistan striked with an uplifting win. This was South Africa's first game in Pakistan for close to 14 years. The last test match also marked the start of the captaincy era for Babar Azam. With that,take a look at the three best betting tips from the forthcoming Pakistan vs South Africa Twenty20 series which i have assorted for you.

Babar Azam To Score Over 30.5 Runs

Starting off with skipper, Babar Azam who led green shirts to a historic win against South Africa in the test series played this season. He became the fifth Pakistan captain to start their test captaincy stint with a series win. The captain has played two Test innings in Rawalpindi prior to this match, and both times he scored a hundred. Babar Azam has featured in 44 T20I matches and averages 50.93 from it with 1681 runs which includes 16 half centuries. Though he only has played 3 matches against South Africa he has an astounding average of 50.93 against them. Not to mention, he holds a brilliant record playing in his home ground where he has contributed to 67 matches for his team and averages 54.19 from it with 2547 runs to his name. In the 2020 season he has played 32 T20 matches and hammered 1242 runs averaging at 56.45. As a captain, Babar Azam has taken part in 11 matches and averages 55.85 from it. There is no doubt that the captain is on a roll this season to which LeoVegas.com has offered betting odds of 1.86 for Babar Azam to score over 30.5 runs against South Africa.

Mohammad Rizwan To Score Under 22.5 Runs

Though Rizwan had a brilliant innings in the first Test series being declared as the Man Of The Series. He scored a 115 not out and put on a valuable partnership with Yasir Shah and Nauman Ali which proved decisive in the end. Rizwan's outstanding innings and his partnership gave vital runs to the team to put up a good total at the end. But looking at his past career summary the wicketkeeper batsman has performance is disappointing to say the least with all the flair he possesses. He has played 26 Twenty20 International matches so far and scarcely averages 22.35 from it with only 313 runs and one each of hundred and half centuries to himself. Having played 3 matches against South Africa he has struggled to score only 26 runs and averages at 14.50 from it. From the 6 home matches he has played he has an average of 11.00 from it with at most 11 runs. LeoVegas.com has offered betting tips of 1.79 for Mohammad Rizwan to score under 22.5 runs from the forthcoming match.

Pakistan to win the match

My last prediction lies in favour of the host team. Pakistan has shown sheer brilliance in the last two test matches held against South Africa. If that does not justify the claim, let us look at the last 10 Twenty20 international matches both the teams have played. Pakistan has won 6 out of the 10 matches played in the past few years whereas South Africa has only defeated their opponents in 3 matches. But the last three matches the teams faced each other in South Africa’s home ground, Pakistan lost to South Africa in two out of three. It would be fair to say that Pakistan knowing their home pitch better have an upper hand in winning the next match as noticed earlier in the two test series held this season. With Babar Azam and his men in green being in form this season, this bet is a clear win for Pakistan to which Sportsbet.io has offered betting odds of 1.47.
