Pakistan vs South Africa prediction

Normally, a batter-friendly surface greets the players in Lahore. However, South Africa are expecting turn later in the match and have picked a squad that gives them the best chance of success in the conditions. Pakistan have been a poor Test team for a significant period of time, whilst South Africa are a really good red ball side, as they demonstrated when they won the World Test Championship earlier this year.

The days of Pakistan being a formidable team to face in their own country seem to be long gone, whilst South Africa are full of confidence and always seem to bring their best when wearing Proteas whites. With that in mind, consider backing the tourists to pull off victory here, albeit via the safety of the draw no bet market.

Pakistan vs South Africa tip: South Africa draw no bet
