South Africa vs Pakistan Match Prediction
South Africa and Pakistan will meet for their second T20I match of the series on December 13, 2024. Their clash is going to be hosted at SuperSport Park, Centurion, with a scheduled start time of 9:30 P.M IST.
South Africa vs Pakistan Chances of Winning
South Africa were highly competitive in the first game of the T20I series against Pakistan where the home team elected to bat first and managed to secure a brilliant score of 183. After the top order failed miserably at making any impact, David Miller absolutely smashed it out of the park with a knock of 82 runs. A bit lower down the order, George Linde also exerted himself to score 48 runs, having narrowly missed out on a half-century, which put South Africa in a good position.
However, the hosts had every reason to be on tenterhooks since Pakistan are not an easy team to beat. While the visiting team were perfectly capable of overcoming the total, South Africa’s bowlers pulled through and defended the score successfully; George Linde, in particular, stood out with a four-wicket haul. Pakistan’s batting performance was severely inadequate as skipper, opener and wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan top-scored with 74 runs. Saim Ayub trailed behind in second with 31 runs but the rest of the team did nothing to help. In the end, Pakistan were restricted to 172 and South Africa enjoyed an 11-run triumph.

South Africa vs Pakistan Betting Tips
Pakistan to score over 25.5 before first dismissal @ 1.86 (Parimatch)
Both Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are seasoned openers for Pakistan but their 16-run partnership in the previous game was a travesty. Together, they have done a great deal for Pakistan’s first wicket over the years. Rizwan and Azam have averages of 47.92 and 39.92, respectively, in their T20I career thus far and the pair will be expected to put on a big stand in the next match.

The teams batting first have a slight edge at SuperSport Park with nine wins in 18 T20I matches held here. The last game played at the venue was the third T20I match between India and South Africa, where the former emerged victorious after being put in to bat first. In the next game, the toss winning side will be keen to set the target.

Pakistan Team Form
Pakistan’s batting performance was severely lacking as their captain did most of the work. The victory was theirs for the taking if the other batters had enough resolve to score a few more runs.

South Africa vs Pakistan Betting Odds
Pakistan to have a better opening partnership than South Africa @ 1.78 (Parimatch)
Reeza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen did not make a good start to the series as the pair scored precisely one run together before the first dismissal. The latter failed to make a contribution at all and South Africa’s first wicket suffered as a result. Pakistan’s openers were in a similar plight as Mohammad Rizwan scored a half-century but Babar Azam was out on a four-ball duck. The duo ended up with a stand of 16 runs which was still significantly better than that of South Africa. The bookmakers endorse Pakistan’s openers to come out on top in the upcoming match, too.

He has a grand total of 3403 runs in 92 innings over the course of his T20I career and his average of 47.92 is remarkable. He is expected to be their standout batter once again.
