SA vs PAK Prediction, 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – Pakistan tour of South Africa, 2nd ODI

Preview:

South Africa got off to a poor start in their home turf against the touring Pakistani side. A top-order crumble meant that they were on the back foot right from the get-go. However, Rassie van der Dussen isn’t known for giving up without a fight.

He did what he often has done in recent times – pull South Africa out of their precarious situation. But whatever damage that could’ve been done had been done, as any target of under 290 was never a good one on what was a flat, batting track. Pakistan had a few hiccups in the run-chase, but they eventually managed to hold on to their nerves and seal the deal.
