The 36th match of World Cup T20 2022 is scheduled to play between Pakistan and South Africa on Thursday, 3rd November 2022 at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney

Pakistan lost two matches by a very close margin. These were the matches that Pakistan could easily win but failed to get over the line. Both earlier matches in Pakistan had been very interesting. They beat the Netherlands in their previous match and this was the first win of Pakistan in Australia and also in ICC T20 World Cup 2022. They lost the toss and were put into bat first. The way how bowling unit of Pakistan performed in this match as just outstanding. They destroyed the batting order of the Netherlands. They leaked just 91 runs in 20 overs. Shadab Khan was the most successful and highest wicket-taker from their side who picked three wickets in four overs against 22 runs. Mohammad Wasim Jr was the other bowler who was just superb with the ball. He picked up two wickets in three overs while he was charged with 15 runs. Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf picked one wicket each while Mohammad Nawaz was the only bowler who failed to pick any wicket.

The key problem of Pakistan had been their batting order. They are dependent on Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan for run-scoring but both batters are not performing well in this tournament. They are opening the batting inning for Pakistan and had not provided a good start in any match. Fakhar Zaman was given a chance in the final played eleven of the previous match but they failed to put some big runs on the board. Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed also failed in the conditions of Australia. Mohammad Rizwan showed some good batting in the previous match and scored 49 runs but he faced 39 balls for this and smashed five boundaries. He failed to complete his fifty. The skipper, Babar Azam once again failed to score some big runs and scored just four runs. Fakhar Zaman could manage to score just 20 runs on 16 balls with a strike rate of just above 125. Shan Masood scored 12 runs. It will interesting to see how these batters perform against the strong bowling unit of South Africa.

South Africa had been outstanding in this tournament. They had done well in each and every department of the game. Their first match against Zimbabwe was washed out by the rain and they beat Bangladesh in the next match with a huge margin of 102 runs. They were also superb in the previous match against India and won the match with a margin of five wickets. They lost the toss and were asked to field first. The way how their bowling unit performed in that match was just outstanding. They leaked just 133 runs in 20 overs against the strong batting order of India. Almost all bowlers from their side performed well in this match. Lungi Ngidi was the most successful bowler who almost destroyed the batting order of India. He picked up four wickets in four overs against just 29 runs.

Wayne Parnell was the other bowler who performed well in the previous match and picked up three wickets in four overs against just 15 runs. Anrich Nortje picked one wicket while Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, and Aiden Markram were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket. The batting start of South Africa was not good and their lost their key three wickets on a total of just 24 runs but Aiden Markram and David Miller took the charge and chased the target of 134 runs in 19.4 overs. David Miller proved the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side who remained not out till the chase of the target.

The 36th match of World Cup T20 2022 is going to be held at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The pitch is bouncy and fast and run-scoring is not much easy in early and middle overs. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 170 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Sydney is predicting some clouds around on match day and the weather forecast is also predicting some chances of rain but we are hoping for a full and uninterrupted match.
