Pakistan vs South Africa prediction

Pakistan playing all their group stage fixtures in Sri Lanka during monsoon season has recently proven disastrous with rain denying them the chance to put crucial wins on the board which would give them the best chance of finishing in the top four. As it is, they are yet to taste victory once at this World Cup so far and their last two matches have been washed out mid-game.

South Africa have won their last four as the Colombo rain held off long enough for them to get a shortened match in against Sri Lanka, which the Proteas won by ten wickets. But the forecast for this one is decidedly less promising. Therefore, there is little value in backing in winner. Instead, look towards the South African openers in the event that they do get out to bat, specifically Laura Wolvaardt. With 180 runs across the group stage so far including two half-centuries, back the Proteas skipper to score 30+ runs in this encounter.
