PAK vs SA 1st T20: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch report and Injury updates

Pakistan vs South Africa PAK vs SA 1st T20: The opening match between Pakistan and South Africa will be played at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on Thursday. The match will be scheduled to commence at 6:00 pm IST. Pakistan are in great touch in recent times and Babar Azam-led side will aim to earn T20I ranking points with an eye on the 2021 ICC World Cup. Here is our PAK vs SA dream11 prediction, including batsmen, wicket-keeper, all-rounder, and bowlers in your Deam11 team as given below.

After wrapping up the Test series 2-0, Pakistan is aiming for similar kinds of results in the shortest format. The hosts stand undefeated in the last six T20Is at home Skipper Babar Azam’s absence affected Pakistan mainly on that tour. But on their home soil, PAK are a very menacing side and a tough to beat them. Although they didn’t have the greatest of the T20 series when they toured New Zealand and lost the series by 1-2. 

On the other hand. South Africa side is missing key players in the form of de Kock, du Plessis who has been rested for other commitments. The Proteas have a lot of young lads in their squad and Heinrich Klassen has been given captain’s responsibility. South Africa is playing Twenty20 internationals for the first time after it will be a daunting challenge for them, especially against in-form Pakistan.
