ZAF vs PAK 2nd T20I match prediction 12 Apr 2021

SA vs PAK Final Match Predictions & Betting Tips

The 2nd match of the ongoing T20 series will see South Africa locking horns with Pakistan yet again. This fixture will yet again be hosted at The Wanderers in Johannesburg on April 12, Monday. Here I am with three of the best betting tips from the SA vs PAK match prediction for you to wager on.

Pakistan have made a winning start in the T20 international series too just like they did in the ODIs. However, I would say South Africa indeed have plenty of time and games to turn things around. But the hosts just cannot lose the second game or else they will have a Mt Kilimanjaro to climb. South Africa had won the toss and stand-in skipper Heinrich Klassen decided to bat first.

The Proteas posted a competitive total on the scoreboard (188/6), courtesy a couple of half centuries from Aiden Markram and the skipper himself. In reply, Pakistan got off to a brisk start with the help of Mohammad Rizwan, who remained unbeaten right till the end with 74 runs to his name. He was quite rightly adjudged the man of the match for his performance with the bat. Can the Proteas bounce back? We will have to wait it out until Monday. Meanwhile, take a look at some of the guaranteed player bets from the SA vs PAK match prediction.

The Player bets from this South Africa vs Pakistan match is so genuine that there is no way it can be missed. Mohammad Rizwan, Janneman Malan and of course, the ever brilliant, Babar Azam are the men to look out for while wagering from the SA vs PAK 2nd T20I match prediction.

Mohammad Rizwan to score over 25.5 runs

Here I am talking about a cricketer who has only been on the rise along with his skipper Babar Azam. Yes, ladies and gents, you guessed that right - Mohammad Rizwan! The wicket-keeper batsman’s overall statistics might not impress you and here’s where I come into play. This guy had played 9 matches in the 2020-21 season, and had scored 325 runs at an average of 65.00. In this ongoing calendar year, Rizwan has already scored 271 runs in just four matches at a jaw-dropping average of 135.50!

Under the leadership of Babar Azam, the right hander has managed to score 321 runs at an outstanding average of 64.20. The numbers against South Africa are stunning as well - 7 matches, 300 runs and an outrageous average of 75.00! I think by now, you should have already headed to the Bet 365 website to place your bet on Mohammad Rizwan to score over 25.5 runs during the SA vs PAK match prediction.

Janneman Malan to score over 21.5 runs

Janneman Malan has massive shoes to fill at the top of the batting tree in the absence of Quinton de Kock. In the very first game of the T20I series, Malan got off to a good start but fell prey to Mohammad Nawaz in front of the stumps for 24 runs. Malan has a T20I career average of 22.33 and his overall T20 average is 31.91. In his last four T20I knocks, he has scored north of 21.5 runs on three occasions. Before the 1st T20 international game against Pakistan, Malan had played 5 matches at The Wanderers and he had 207 runs at an impressive average of 51.75. While playing on the South African soil, Malan has an average of 32.60. You can see all the scenarios I mentioned are clearly working in our favour. Therefore go to the Bet 365 website and place your bets on Janneman Malan, who is likely to score more than 21.5 runs in the SA vs PAK encounter.

This man just knows how to score freely across all the three formats of the game. He has scored 214 runs against South Africa in 7 matches at an average of 30.57. In 48 T20 international games, Babar has racked up 1744 runs at an average of 47.14. He has played 4 T20 matches in South Africa and has 165 runs at 41.25.
