South Africa vs Pakistan prediction

South Africa just did not show up with the bat against Australia in their opening game and paid the price, losing heavily by 65 runs after being bowled out for just 107 chasing 173. Pakistan were beaten by 64 runs at the hands of India but you could argue that they had their opportunities over the course of that match, with their fielding in particular letting them down with key catches dropped during the Indian innings.

Despite such a bad showing last time out, South Africa remain a strong side and should demonstrate that this time around. Expect a much better outing with the bat in particular and their superior batting depth down the order will likely see them past Pakistan on what should be a good pitch at Edgbaston.

South Africa vs Pakistan tip: South Africa to win
