Team Preview of South Africa vs Pakistan 3rd ODI Match Prediction 2024

South Africa and Pakistan will be playing the last ODI match, which is going to be a must-win match for the South African side as they already lost the series, so they want to save their dignity.

The South African batting unit is not working well at all as, once again, the top order failed to do well and got out by the spinners of Pakistan. They all did get the start but failed to convert it into a bigger inning.

Babar Azam and Rizwan had a great partnership as they scored 100+ runs. It was a great inning by Babar Azam, who scored 73, and then it was Rizwan, who scored 80 runs. After that, Salman Agha and Kamran Ghulam also contributed well.

Kwena Maphaka took four wickets, and Marco Jasen took three, but both of them were not economical. Shaheen Afridi had a great match, picking up four wickets, Naseem Shah three, and Abrar Ahmed two, stopping the South Africa side on just 248 runs to win the match by 81 runs. Pakistan should give a chance to some of their players who did not feature in the last two ODIs, like Mohammad Hasnain and Tayyab Tahir.
