Pakistan and South Africa have faced each other in 86 matches in ODI. Out of these 86 games, Pakistan have won 33 whereas South Africa have come out victorious on 52 occasions. 

Hosts Pakistan suffered a 78-run defeat in the opening match. South Africa lost by eight wickets in the second game after the Kiwis chased down a target of 304. South Africa are without their full-strength squad for this series with many players missing due to SA20 commitments which just ended a few days back. South Africa were put into bat first in the last game and Breetzke scored 150 in his ODI debut to help his side post 304. Devon Conway and Kane Williamson scored 97 and 133 not out and shared 187 off 155 as Kiwis cruised through the chase.

New Zealand have qualified for the Final and this is a knockout match between these two sides and the winner of this match will play New Zealand in the Final on 14th February. This promises to be a closely fought game.

PAK vs SA Dream11 Prediction: Pitch Report

The pitch at the National Stadium, Karachi will be a balanced one with good help for spinners and there will be plenty of runs on offer with quick outfield. We can expect a high-scoring affair and the average score at this venue is close to 270. Spinners might not play a big role at this venue. Dew is expected to set in so both sides will prefer chasing at this venue. 

Fantasy Value from Pitch Report

• Try to fit in the top 4 batters from both teams.
• You can take the risk of dropping the fast bowlers from the team bowling first.
• Death bowlers from the first innings and batters will be good C/VC options.
