Predict the outcome of the T20I Series between South Africa and Pakistan?

[Saj]

4 match series, what do you reckon will be the outcome?

[RedwoodOriginal]

3-1 Pakistan

[Firebat]

With Fakhar in red hot form staying for the T20Is, as well as Hafeez joining up with the side, playing against this second-string SA team, we should be getting a 3-1 victory at the very least.

[Hasan123]

3-1 Pakistan. South Africa bowling back up doesn’t look strong.

[Shoaibbtt]

No Pretorious from South Africa is bewildering seeing as he bowled well in the last series.

[MenInG]

Very confident that we can win this series also

[bujhee kom]

2-2.

Can Pk's batsman sustain this run of form? They are not technically sound.

[shamaan]

3-1

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should win 3-1.

[hitthestump]

Pakistan are hopelessly inconsistent and mentally weak. They nearly bottled it in the first ODI and it took individual performances rather than a team effort to win the other two.

It is a weak SA side but Pakistan's own deficiencies will result in a 2-2. Expect the batting to flop at least 2 out of the 4 games. Bowling is a little more favourable but our inexperienced rock throwers aren't capable of blowing away even this SA C team. They will be in with a good chance against us.

[Caved12]

3-1 Pakistan

[sivanand82]

4-0 pakizstan.Nawaz and Qadir will destroy SA batting lineup which weakened further by Bavuma injury.

[Rafa]

Four match T20 series between the two teams starts on 10th April.

What are your predictions ?

I think considering the form that Pakistan is in, it should be 3-1 to Pakistan.

I can agree with this that it'll be 3-1, my prediction was that we would win the ODIs 2-1 and i stick with my prediction of 3-1 in t20s.

[Saj]

Pakistan isn't going to get a better chance to win a T20I series in South Africa than this one.

Thanks to IPL

I've gone for 3-1 to Pakistan.

For Pakistan it will be negotiating the overs of Pretorius and then it's home free as far as the bowling attack is concerned.

[rockyboy2018]

4-0 to Pakistan. Perfect chance for Pakistan

[MenInG]

On the ICC T20I rankings, Pakistan is sitting in fourth place on 260 points while South Africa is sixth on 251 points. England is on top of the tree with 272 points, followed by India (270) and Australia (267).

If Pakistan win all four matches, they will earn four points and move to 264 points to reduce the gap to three points with Australia. However, if the series result in reversed, then both the side will swap places with South Africa rising to fourth on 259 points and Pakistan dropping to sixth on 254 points.

In case of a 3-1 series win, Pakistan will rise to 262 points while South Africa will slip to 249 points – 19 points behind seventh-ranked Afghanistan. A 2-2 series result will mean Pakistan will stay fourth on 259 points and South Africa will maintain sixth position on 252 points.

[RedwoodOriginal]

I mean we should aim for 4-0 here. The South African side is heavily depleted, even more so than the one that toured Pakistan earlier this year.

Now Bavuma, Hendricks and Pretorius have been ruled out of the series aswell.

[bujhee kom]

This is shaping up to me a mauling of Pk. C.100 from 10 overs. Eyeing 220+ here.

The T20 ratings are very close. A few points separate the top few teams. Any can beat another on any given day.

This South African bowling attack is perfectly capable of conceding 220+ if they score that many

[MenInG]

Could well end up as 2-2! But I am confident we will take it 3-1

[Rajdeep]

Pakistan should be very upset if the series end up with 2-2. Its a 2nd string SA team, so anything other than series win is not desired.

[Shoaibbtt]

Nah i reckon 3-1 definitely, everyone has an off day and we must give Pakistan the benefit of the doubt. One thing is for sure Misbah was completely right about fitness and the result of incredibly poor conditioning is in front of us today. Sharjeel needs to be dropped for the next t20 that's for sure.

[Mesozoic]

This has got a 2-2 written all over it. And if South Africa get rid of Magala, they may even win it to be honest...

It's pretty evident that both these teams are on par with each other despite South Africa missing a dozen of it's players.

[bujhee kom]

Age provides perspective and a bad day mustn't result in despair. A good day must not lead to excessive jubilation.

One bad day in the office shouldn't call for scrutiny, it's not all doom in gloom. South Africa were bound a win and perhaps wasn't the right call to bat first.

[Shoaibbtt]

Pakistan-South Africa head to head at Centurion- Pakistan 2, South Africa 0

Something to give us solace?

[OMB]

So this match could be deciding who gets one hand on the trophy today.
Our Polls overwhelmingly predicted 3-1 to Pakistan.
Any chance that SA cause an upset now?

"One bad day in office" is not a valid excuse as Pakistan barely scrapped through even in the first T20 on the back of some dreadful bowling from the inexperienced SAF seamers....

You could have had a point had Pak thrashed them comprehensively.

That first t20 i will say a win is a win.

[Firebat]

Pakistan demolish South Africa by 9 wickets in the 3rd T20I to take a 2-1 lead. On the back of this momentum, we will close out the series in the final match. 3-1.

[Runner Up]

At least Pakistan will not lose T20 series now.

*InshAllah we do, let's not get cocky lol.

We have a great chance to make it 3-1 and i was in that bunch that says we'll win 3-1.

Losses happen everyday and we shouldn't be ashamed in losing, South Africa is South Africa at the end of the day. They probably don't have an excellent bowling dept this t20 series but they certainly don't have a C grade batting line up in my humble view. Expect Kyle to be back in that last match.

If Kyle comes in that will make me a little itchy. No changes next game for me but for the love of God please rest Shaheen after this, there is no need nor any reason why he should play in the Zimbabwe series and in fact i would be half tempted to send Waqas Moqsood, Taj Wali or Kamran Ghulam in his place.

Send Shaheen home after Friday's game!!!!
