Today Cricket Match Prediction, South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st T20 Match. Who Will Win, On Apr 10, 2021

The cricket fans are ready to witness yet another big battle of the T20 cricket. The 1st T20 match of the Pakistan tour of South Africa is scheduled to be held on Saturday, 10th April 2021 at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. We are posting safe, secure, and accurate today match prediction of all matches of Pakistan and South Africa.

South Africa had lost the ODI series and now, they are going to face Pakistan in the T20 series without their key players. Had the South African board made a mistake to allow their main players to play in IPL?, we think the time will decide this. This series is going to be a huge test for South Africa and it will be interesting to watch how their bench players perform. The T20 world cup is not far and this series can help South Africa to test the players who are mostly on benches. Janneman Malan and Reeza Hendricks will open the batting inning for South Africa. Janneman Malan had almost performed in the match where he got the opportunity while Reeza Hendricks had to get the good form.

Rassie van der Dussen can bat at number three follwed by Heinrich Klassen, Temba Bavuma, Dwaine Pretorius, and Wihaan Lubbe. We can not say that this batting order is weak but also not much stronger. There is a gap in power hitting in the lower order and this can be a huge issue for South Africa. Tabraiz Shamsi will be leading the bowling department. We know that he is a top-ranked bowler in the T20 format and can create problems for the batting order of Pakistan. We know that he does not have a good record against Pakistan but now, things are different. Lutho Sipamla, Bjorn Fortuin, and Beuran Hendricks also have to play a key role to handle the bowling department in absence of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje.

Pakistan is going to make some interesting changes in the squad for the T20 series. The players who had to give the best performance in the most recent uncompleted PSL season had been picked for the national team. The batting order of Pakistan is strong lead by Babar Azam who is in the superb form of his life. There is no doubt that he is the best batsman in the world when it comes to the t20 format of cricket. Mohammad Hafeez, Haider Ali, and Sharjeel Khan are also available for the selection for the first match. Fakhar Zaman is also in the t20 squad after smashing near about three centuries in the ODI series.

There will be a competition between Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Rizwan, Sarfaraz Ahmed, and Faheem Ashraf for available three spots in the middle order. We think that Mohammad Nawaz will miss this match if Usman Qadir is picked as a spin bowler. The bowling department of Pakistan is also strong which is going to lead by Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and maybe Hassan Ali. Hassan Ali smashed four sixes in the last ODI match and we think he will be picked for this match due to his power-hitting capability. Pakistan had won the ODI series earlier but they are known as one of the best teams in t20 format. We know that they had ruled the t20 world for a long time.

South Africa had a total of 127 T20 matches to his account. They won 72 matches while opposing teams won 54 matches while their one match was ended with no result.

Pakistan had played 163 T20 matches so far. They won 100 matches while opposing teams won 61 matches Two matches of Pakistan were ended with no result. Rember that Pakistan is the only team that had won 100 t20 matches.
