South Africa vs Pakistan 3rd ODI Prediction & Betting Tips
South Africa will take on Pakistan in the ODI series decider. The game will be played at the SuperSport Park, Centurion and is set to get underway at 10:00 AM local time.
Two matches, two nail biters, this is what you expect from these two teams. However, there are few area of concern that we'd like to point out. For Pakistan despite getting big scores in both matches, the middle order hasn't scored anything. If the top order fails to score, Pakistan can be under serious pressure. For South Africa, they played well in the last game but five of their main stays, namely, Rabada, De Kock, Nortje, Ngidi and Miller have left for India and won't be available for the match. Given the way Pakistan have fared in both matches, they'll go in the match as favourites.

Even though the batting for South Africa look good, their bowling looks very weak in the absence of Rabada, Nortje and Ngidi. On good batting Wicket, it will be hard for them to contain Pakistan. For us, Pak are favourites.
