Pakistan vs South Africa prediction
Pakistan’s big stars delivered when they needed it most in the final T20i to close out a series win and they’ll be hoping that this serves as a big momentum boost for them moving forwards. With Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah potentially backing up Shaheen Shah Afridi in the ODI series, things bode well for the hosts, whilst South Africa remain without a number of key names.
A very good batting surface is expected in Faisalabad but Pakistan boasts enough quality within their pace bowlers to trouble the Proteas despite this. They have previous when it comes to racking up big ODI scores at home and backing them to follow up their hot finish to the T20i games by winning the first ODI is worth opting for.
Pakistan vs South Africa tip: Pakistan to win
