Pakistan vs South Africa prediction

Pakistan were victorious in the first Test, winning an important toss first and foremost and making the most of conditions conducive to spin, with the pitch turning more and more violently as the Test went on. However, South Africa were missing their first-choice spinner who is back for the second Test, Keshav Maharaj looking to make an immediate impact for the Proteas.

He’s the player who should be in focus most, assuming a similar pitch is prepared by the Rawalpindi curators. Since preparing spinning surfaces, Pakistan’s results in red ball cricket at home have improved, so it would be a surprise if we did not see substantial turn once again in this match. With that in mind, back Maharaj to take over 4.5 match wickets for South Africa.
