Pakistan and South Africa are set to face each other in a warm-up match on 20th October at Tolerance Oval in Abu Dhabi. The match will start at 7:30 PM IST, 2:00 GMT and 6:00 PM LOCAL
Pakistan and South Africa are strong T20I teams with many talented T20 players. Both the teams have won their first warm-up games.
Pakistan defeated the reigning champions West Indies by 7 wickets on 18th October. West Indies is the most successful team in the history of the T20 World Cup winning two T20 World Cup trophies. So defeating this squad takes a really strong team which Pakistan has in this year’s T20 World Cup. Pakistan won the match with 27 balls remaining.
South Africa, on the other hand, has defeated Afghanistan by 41 runs. South African bowlers went full berserk on the Afghanistan batting line-up and bowled them out for 104 runs only.
