Facts:
- South Africa’s Matthew Breetzke set the record of the highest score by a batsman on his ODI debut in Lahore by scoring 150 runs. He broke Desmond Haynes' 47-year-old record of 148 against Australia, set in 1978.
- South Africa are on their second biggest losing streak with 5 losses on the bounce. The only time they had a longer losing streak in ODI cricket was between 1994 and 2004 when they lost 10 consecutive games.
Pakistan vs South Africa Chance of Winning
Hosts Pakistan lost their first game in six matches against New Zealand in the opening game of the tri-series in Lahore. They failed in both departments, allowing the Kiwis to score 330 while falling for 252 while chasing the target. They come into the match knowing a win will take them to the final of the tri-series where they have a chance of taking revenge against New Zealand.
Standing in Pakistan’s path are out-of-form South Africa. The visitors, too, lost their first game of the series despite setting a target of 304 for the Kiwis. South Africa have lost their last five matches and will need to pull off a miracle to beat the hosts and qualify for the finals.
- Pakistan Chance of Winning - 63%
- South Africa Chance of Winning - 37%

Pakistan vs South Africa Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
After two games in Lahore where we saw high-scoring games, the tri-series moves to Karachi to show its readiness for the Champions Trophy. The average of the National Stadium in Karachi is 237 at the venue and we’re expecting another tight encounter in Karachi. There has been only one century scored in the last three games played at the venue. Hence, we’re quite tempted by odds of 2.10 on Batery for a century not to be scored in the game.
Despite the bowling-friendly nature of the wicket, we’re backing Pakistan’s opening batsman Fakhar Zaman to go big in the match. The 34-year-old smashed 7 fours and 4 sixes to score 84 runs in just 69 balls, giving the team a brilliant platform to build on against the Kiwis. While his teammates failed to convert the start, Zaman was impressive in the game. We’re expecting him to post a big score once again and help his team qualify for the final.

Pakistan vs South Africa Match Toss Prediction
The last three matches played at the National Stadium in Karachi have all been won by teams batting first. We’re backing the teams to play to their strengths and post a competitive target for their bowlers to defend. Hence, we’re expecting the captain that wins the toss to bat first.
Weather Report
The temperature in Karachi is forecast to be between late twenties and early thirties. While there is no rain expected during the match, the players are in for a sweltering afternoon with the humidity above 70%.

Pakistan vs South Africa Betting Odds
Pakistan to have a better opening partnership than the visitors
South Africa have experimented with seven different opening partnerships in just 11 ODI games that they have played since January last year. While they have seen success on a couple of occasions, they have been largely disappointing. Pakistan, on the other hand, have had just two opening combinations in their 10 games and average over 55. They have put together three half-century and two century stands in that period and we’re expecting them to start well once again.

Pakistan vs South Africa Top Batters
Fakhar Zaman to be Pakistan’s top batsman
Pakistan’s opening batsman was the team’s top scorer in the first game of the series, scoring 84 runs in just 69 balls while chasing 331. The 34-year-old has scored two fifties and a century in his last four ODIs. He averages over 54 in games against South Africa and we’re backing him to go big once again.
Matthew Breetzke to be South Africa’s top batsman
26-year-old Matthew Breetzke made his delayed debut against New Zealand in Lahore. He set the record of the best score by a debutant in ODI cricket with a score of 150, albeit in a losing cause. We’re expecting the opening batter to continue his form and cause the Pakistan bowlers trouble in Karachi.
Pakistan vs South Africa Top Bowlers
Shaheen Shah Afridi to be Pakistan’s top bowler
Left arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi was the team’s best bowler in the first game, returning with three wickets. While he was expensive, conceding 88 runs, the 24-year-old was a constant menace. We’re expecting Afridi to be among the wickets against South Africa, who will be fielding a very inexperienced side.
Senuran Muthusamy to be South Africa’s top bowler
Spinner Senuran Muthusamy was the team’s best bowler against New Zealand despite making his ODI debut in the match. The left arm-spinner returned with figures of 2/50 and even bowled a maiden over in a game where the Kiwi batters went berserk. We’re expecting him to take advantage of the bowling conditions and trouble the Pakistan batsmen.
