Tomorrow the first T20 game between Pakistan and South Africa will be played and I ensure this game is going to be crazy. Both teams are confident and have enough strength to give a tough competition. We can get an idea from their recent performances. In the last five games of Pakistan against many teams, Pakistan has got victory in three games just they lost games from India while SA has lost three games with one victory. One game was abandoned against England because of weather conditions. So if I give my opinion from the recent stats Pakistan is going to win the game but if we look at the bowling amd batting lineup performance SA is far better than Pakistan. Cheer up to the boys of both teams because its a game so one team will win second will loose. Tomorrow, the real results will be in front of us.
Last time at the end of the year 2024, we have seen Pakistan team were playing in the African pitches and badly lost all the T20 games there and in fact if we check the head to head of both of the teams, Pakistan won last time in 2022 and in 2021 but now in the recent years, Pakistan cricket is really disappointing us almost in every event and in every series against the SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia) teams.
Abrar Ahmed and Muhammad Nawaz are the exciting one, Naseem Shah is back in the team so we may see him while playing today after a long time.
Babar Azam is back in the T20 squad of the team after almost a year but I think he is not all set to play on T20, we should try him in the first game but I am not expecting that he would perform in a way that surprised us, yes he may score 20 off 10 and such score like this but in this game against South Africa every individual player have to score so many runs that he could help the team and also avoid waste of the balls.
I think that the weakness of the Pakistan team that they just play so slow, have so many dot balls and then came under pressure, leading to defeats in important games. However, let's see today at the Rawalpindi cricket stadium, excepting high quality cricket with high energetic fans.
