🏆 South Africa vs Pakistan Prediction

Both the teams are coming on the back of a test series defeat. While South Africa lost to Sri Lanka, Pakistan went down to New Zealand in their most recently played series. The Proteas, however, have the home advantage in their favor and teams from the subcontinent have found it really hard to beat them in their own backyard. The hosts have an incredible record at Centurion in the game's longest format and have won seven of their last eight tests at this venue. Pakistan do have a reliable bowling attack but it is their bating that will be their biggest concern on this tour. They have never beaten South Africa in a test match at this ground and it is unlikely that they will create history this time.

Final Verdict: Back South Africa to beat Pakistan in the first test at 1.45 with Betfair and 1.40 with both Betway and Bet365.
