PAK vs SA Dream11 prediction: Match preview

The Pakistan cricket team played superlative cricket against the visitors in their recently-concluded Test series. The hosts registered comprehensive victories in both their Test matches and showcased a dominant brand of cricket on their home soil. South Africa have a chance of redeeming themselves after their underwhelming outing as the two teams square off in the shortest format after their red-ball matches.

After the postponement of the South Africa vs Australia series, the Proteas will look to make a strong point with a thumping performance against Pakistan. It is worth mentioning that South Africa have ended up on the losing side in their last three T20I series and improved performance against a spirited Pakistani side will give them immense confidence ahead of the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup. Pakistan, on the other hand, will be keen to capitalize on the momentum that they are carrying into the contest and delight their fans with yet another positive result.
