Pakistan vs South Africa Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Team, Playing11, Pitch Report, Where to Watch - T20 World Cup 2022.



Pakistan will face South Africa in match 36 of the ICC Men?s T20 World Cup 2022 at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on 3rd November 2022. The contest between the two sides will begin at 1:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).



South Africa will enter the contest with the sole aim to win the game and seal a ticket to the semi-final of the ICC Men?s T20 World Cup 2022. So far the Proteas have managed to stay unbeaten in the tournament. With two wins and a draw match, the South Africans comfortably sit at the second position in the points table. A victory against Pakistan in the next match will put them atop the points table of Group 2.



On the other side, Pakistan?s campaign in the ongoing T20 World Cup looks almost done and dusted. The Men in Green went on to lose two back-to-back matches against India and Zimbabwe respectively. The two losses pulled them way back and recovery from that point looks like a distant dream.



Although Pakistan managed to win the game against the Netherlands, it isn?t enough to place them above India and South Africa in the semi-final race. Moreover, Pakistan?s fate for qualification in the semi-final isn?t only on their hands, they require a few other fixtures to go their way.



However, a cracking contest will be on cards as both Pakistan and South Africa meet tomorrow at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). This article will lead you through Pakistan vs South Africa Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Team, Playing11, Pitch Report, Where to Watch - T20 World Cup 2022.

<h2>Pakistan vs South Africa SCG Pitch Report:</h2>



Sydney Cricket Ground?s track looks a bit slower and dryish. The surface will help the spinners to rule the game more than the seamers.

However, we expect to see a full-fledged game of cricket between Pakistan and South Africa, despite rain predictions.&nbsp;

<h2>Pakistan's semi-final hopes are still intact</h2>



Pakistan's team is still in the running for the semifinals after this victory against South Africa. Pakistan, however, would anticipate that either South Africa or India would lose their most recent game. Even if it rains during South Africa vs. Netherlands game then Pakistan must defeat Bangladesh by a wide margin in order to advance to the semifinals.

PAK vs SA World Cup 2023: Following three consecutive losses, Pakistan now have their next fixture against South Africa at MA Chidambaram Stadium Chennai on 27th October. There are a lot of issues that the Babar Azam-led Pakistan Team is suffering through and current form is one of them. In this post, we discuss three changes that Pakistan might make for the next match against South Africa.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-sa-three-changes-for-pakistan-vs-south-africa">PAK vs SA: Three Changes For Pakistan vs South Africa</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#1-fakhar-zaman-to-replace-imam-ul-haq">1- Fakhar Zaman To Replace Imam-Ul-Haq</a></li><li class=""><a href="#2-agha-salman-to-replace-saud-shakeel">2- Agha Salman To Replace Saud Shakeel</a></li><li class=""><a href="#3-mohammad-nawaz-to-replace-usama-mir">3- Mohammad Nawaz to Replace Usama Mir</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div>



Pakistan won the first two matches with ease and they looked like a promising team for at least semis but things turned south when they met India on 14 October. Pakistan look no longer the same Pakistan as they were before 14 October. 



If you look at the batting, Abdullah Shafique has been the root of the team in the past few games. He not only has runs under his belt but has also been showing good technique and class. His opening partner Imam has been the exact opposite of it. Being an experienced player at the top, the team needs more of his contribution. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Team-India-vs-Pakistan.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-121359" /></figure>



Babar Azam has been decent but not up to his standards. Many doubt his captaincy skills but he has been one of the most successful captains for Pakistan for the past few years. Following him is Rizwan and arguably he is the best and most reliable batsman in the current Pakistan Squad. 



Team management has put belief in Saud Shakeel but to be very honest, he too is not up to the mark. Ifthikar has been doing his work nicely but he is not a great fielder. Shadab Khan also needs to give more on the ground. He is a good spinner of the ball and on Indian pitches, he should have been the most effective Pakistani Bowler but he isn't.



Usama Mir got a few chances but couldn't squeeze the maximum out of them. He dropped catches and seemed sluggish on the field and also he is not that effective in the middle. Haris Rauf is taking wickets but he is also being too expensive. Shaheen and Hasan are decent at their jobs.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/usama-mir-1.jpg" alt="PAK vs SA: Three Changes That Pakistan Might Make For Next Match Against South Africa | Pakistan vs South Africa ICC World Cup 2023" class="wp-image-121792" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Usama Mir dropped Warner but the match (ICC)</figcaption></figure>



This was an overview analysis of the team and clearly, there are some loopholes that need to be covered. Down below are the three changes that Pakistan might make for the next match against South Africa:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-sa-three-changes-for-pakistan-vs-south-africa">PAK vs SA: Three Changes For Pakistan vs South Africa</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="1-fakhar-zaman-to-replace-imam-ul-haq">1- Fakhar Zaman To Replace Imam-Ul-Haq</h4>



Imam has been out of runs for quite some time and the team might look for other options now. However, Fakhar was also out of form when the team left him out but Pakistan need to find the winning combination and winning formula back.



Fakhar Zaman is the only Pakistani who has a double hundred in ODIs under his belt and his strike rate is way better than that of Imam. And the good news for the management is that he is fully fit now.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="2-agha-salman-to-replace-saud-shakeel">2- Agha Salman To Replace Saud Shakeel</h4>



Agha Salman has represented Pakistan in a total of 16 innings where he has amassed 436 runs at an average of ~40 comparable to Saud Shakeel's 29 in 11 matches. His Strike rate is also better than Saud so there are definitely chances that team management would look for this shuttle change.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="3-mohammad-nawaz-to-replace-usama-mir">3- Mohammad Nawaz to Replace Usama Mir</h4>



Usama Mir was added to the playing 11 to strengthen the spin bowling attack but Nawaz was also putting forward what he is delivering. Additionally, Nawaz is an allrounder so his inclusion means more depth in the batting line-up.

PAK vs SA: Three Changes That Pakistan Might Make For Next Match Against South Africa | Pakistan vs South Africa ICC World Cup 2023

ICC World Cup 2023: Pakistan, one of the strong contenders for the World Cup 2023, is finding it difficult to reach even the semi-finals. Pakistan's problems have increased further after the Men in Green lost to Afghanistan in the 22nd match of the Cricket World Cup. If you are a supporter of Pakistan, then this article will give you the Qualification Scenario of Pakistan for the World Cup 2023 Semifinals.



Last night on Monday, the 22nd match of the World Cup 2023 was played between Pakistan and Afghanistan at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, where Afghanistan wrote history by defeating Babar Azam &amp; Company by eight wickets. Afghanistan's 2023 CWC campaign is going great, the team has shown defeat to teams like defending champions England and Pakistan this season. Afghanistan is at sixth position in the points table after winning two out of five matches.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pakistan Remaining Matches of CWC 2023</h2>



October 27: Pakistan vs South Africa, Chennai



October 31: Pakistan vs Bangladesh, Kolkata



November 4: Pakistan vs New Zealand, Bengaluru



November 11: Pakistan vs England, Kolkata



After the defeat by Afghanistan, Pakistan's qualification looks almost negligible. But cricket is a game of uncertainties, it would be wrong to underestimate any team here. Pakistan has four more matches left in CWC 2023. If the Men in Green win all four of these matches, they will have to depend on Australia's result.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Afghanistan-1-1024x640.jpg" alt="Afghanistan" class="wp-image-121776" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Afghanistan Winning Moment against Pakistan | Pic: X</figcaption></figure>



Currently, India is at the top of the points table with ten points, while New Zealand is at the second position with eight points. The qualification of these two teams is considered almost certain. South Africa and Australia are present at the third and fourth positions, respectively. Australia still has to play five more matches in this tournament. If the Kangaroo team is successful in winning these five matches, then Pakistan will be directly out of the World Cup.



To qualify for the semi-finals of the Cricket World Cup 2023, Pakistan will have to win its remaining four matches at any cost and will also have to hope for a defeat by Australia. If the Men in Green lose even one of their remaining matches, their dreams of qualification for the Cricket World Cup 2023 will be over.

The Pakistan cricket team's already complicated quest to qualify for the semi-finals has been made much more difficult by this development. Since Hasan Ali was unable to take part in the team's practice yesterday, supporters and cricket fanatics alike were deeply troubled by his absence.

Releasing a statement on Hasan Ali's unavailability, PCB wrote, "Fast bowler Hasan Ali has been ruled out of Pakistan's World Cup match against South Africa on Friday in Chennai. Hassan Ali is currently unwell and sat out the training session on Thursday."



"The right-arm pacer suffered fever last night, but he is recovering well. The PCB medical panel has&nbsp;advised him to rest, in order to recover fully ahead of the remaining games."

Sources indicate that Muhammad Wasim Jr. would probably be picked in the starting eleven against South Africa to fill in for Hasan Ali. Given Hasan Ali's status as a crucial fast bowler, this move may have an effect on the team's bowling lineup and strategy.



The Pakistan cricket team's World Cup campaign has been quite the roller coaster, with exciting wins against cricketing Sri Lanka and Netherlands, they then lost to heavyweights like Australia and India on October 14 and 20, respectively, and a difficult match against Afghanistan on October 23.

Pakistan's hopes of qualifying for the World Cup now depend on overcoming this challenging hurdle. Pakistan may still advance to the semifinals with four group games remaining, but there won't be much room for error.



All-arounder Shadab Khan of Pakistan emphasized yesterday that his underachieving teammates still think "miracles can happen" as the defending champions face a "do-or-die" struggle to turn around their dismal World Cup campaign.

PAK vs SA: Hasan Ali Ruled Out of Pakistan vs South Africa Game ICC World Cup 2023

pak-vs-sa-hasan-ali-ruled-out-of-pakistan-vs-south-africa-game-icc-world-cup-2023

PAK vs SA: A do-or-die match for Pakistan and a table-topping opportunity for South Africa, two different teams, and two different journeys. They had a similar start though, winning the first two games comprehensively and then losing the third. Now, after halfway through the ICC World Cup, Pakistan will square off against South Africa on 27 October at MA Chidambaram Stadium. This post will walk you through the PAK vs SA Rain Prediction, the Weather Forecast of Chennai, and the Pitch Report. We will also predict who will win Pakistan vs South Africa.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Jump To:</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-sa-rain-prediction">PAK vs SA Rain Prediction</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-sa-rain-prediction-1">PAK vs SA Rain Prediction</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pitch-report-of-ma-chidambaram-stadium">Pitch Report of MA Chidambaram Stadium</a></li><li class=""><a href="#who-will-win-pakistan-vs-south-africa">Who will Win Pakistan vs South Africa?</a></li></ul></nav></div>



Pakistan and South Africa have faced each other in 5 matches in ICC ODI World Cup tournaments. Out of these 5 games, Pakistan have won 2 whereas South Africa have come out victorious on 3 occasions. They have played 82 ODIs against each other, where South Africa won 51 and Pakistan won 30 with 1 being washed away.



This World Cup started on a similar note for both teams, three matches- 2 wins and a loss but South Africa bounced back stronger and Pakistan are still in search of the winning formula. Pakistan have lost 3 out of 5 and one more loss would cost them the World Cup dream. Head Coach of Pakistan Mickey Arthur said "We said in the changing room the other night that we have got six matches to win the World Cup. We have to get on a streak and win six in a row."



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Pakistan-vs-Sri-Lanka.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-120951" /></figure>



Imam-Ul-Haq has been out of form for quite a while now if we put a glimpse against Australia(70) aside. Fakhar Zaman is fit and probably will replace him in the playing 11. Hasan Ali is ruled out of the PAK vs SA game and Mohammad Wasim Jr might fill his void. Haris Rauf is taking wickets but he is being too expensive so you might see another spinner playing in his place.



Pakistan have played a total of 3 matches at Chepauk (MA Chidambaram Stadium) and defeated India twice on that ground but lost to Afghanistan the last night. South Africa, on the other hand, have lost both of their matches at the venue.



While Temba Bavuma is slated to replace Reeza Hendricks. Pakistan's performance against left-arm leg-spin is unsatisfactory. Given the history of the position, the South African captain also said that Tabraiz Shamsi is expected to participate in this match.

Down below is the PAK vs SA Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast of Chennai, Pitch Report, and Prediction of who will win the Pakistan vs South Africa match:

A hot but overcast day in Chennai City. Chennai has very hot and scorchy kind of weather throughout the year. Today, on 27 October 2023, the temperature of Chennai City is expected to peak at 32?C in the afternoon and drop further as the sun goes down.



Humidity is predicted to hover between 70-80% in the match hours and winds will gust towards the East at a speed of &lt;12Kmh during the day.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-sa-rain-prediction-1">PAK vs SA Rain Prediction</h2>



There are very minimal chances of rain in Chennai City of Tamil Nadu. The rain possibility is around 5% during the match hours, however, there are around 25% chances of rain in the morning time. There will be ~40% of the sky covered under clouds. An overcast day for Pakistan vs South Africa is what?<a href="https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/hourbyhour/l/304a29c4508c568c8e13bf32c284cac0458f7966d589c282a048044f9eef7d43" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">weather.com</a>?predicts. Though, as it is aforementioned, the weather here in Chennai is usually hot so expect a tough day for athletes on the ground.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pitch-report-of-ma-chidambaram-stadium">Pitch Report of MA Chidambaram Stadium</h2>



MA Chidambaram Stadium, also called Chepauk, is a pitch that is well-known for being spin-friendly and welcoming to spinners and skilled spin players. There are many of quality spinners and spin-playing batsmen in both Pakistan and South Africa, thus this contest will be well-matched.



Pacers have had a better average and strike rate at Chepauk in this World Cup compared to spinners. While 31 wickets have fallen to pace so far, only 19 wickets have been picked by spinners.



The initial bounce and carry of the pitch usually provide seam bowlers with a degree of comfort. As the game goes on, spinners get the upper hand, and hitting can become challenging as the pitch becomes softer in the latter innings. If a captain wins the toss, he may decide to bat first and put up a high total.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="who-will-win-pakistan-vs-south-africa">Who will Win Pakistan vs South Africa?</h2>



Pakistan have good spinners in their team. But their struggle against Chinamen bowlers is quite visible. Though Babar and Rizwan are excellent when it comes to playing against spin, Pakistan will be on the back foot. South Africa are in golden touch in comparison to Pakistan and they have Shamsi in their squad ready to attack.



Though the contest is neck-to-neck as it is a spin-friendly surface,?South Africa will win the game?owing to their better batting line-up and in-form fast bowling.
