SA vs PAK Dream11 Prediction

The first ODI of Pakistan’s tour of South Africa 2024-25 will take place at Boland Park in Paarl on Tuesday, December 17. This marks the second series of the tour, following a three-match T20I series that Sou꧟th Africa won 2-0. The Proteas secured victories in the first two games, while the third gameಞ was abandoned due to rain.

Temba Bavuma, despite being in sublime batting form, will be rested. In his absence, Aiden Markram will captain the Proteas. On the other hand, wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan will lead the Pakistan side.

Boland Park Pitch Report

The pitch is anticipated to be slow and spin-friendly, providing a significant advantage to spinners. Captains winning the toss are likely to opt for batting first to capitalize on the favourable early conditions. However, as the match progresses, the surface is expected to deteriorate, making batting increasingly challenging and adding to the bowlers’ dominance.
