SA vs PAK Dream11 Prediction [Source: @TheRealPCB/x]
South Africa and Pakistan will conclude their three-match T20I series on Saturday, December 14 at the iconic Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. Hosts South Africa, in the absence of several of their first-choice players, won the first two matches with ease to seal the series.
Ahead of this game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy cricket tips, the pitch report and the best predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.
SA vs PAK 3rd T20I Preview
An understrength South African team won the first two matches in Durban and Centurion to claim its three-match home series against Pakistan with a game to spare. Compensating for their last month’s 1-3 loss to India, the Proteas will be aiming to complete a 3-0 sweep as they bid to prepare for the 2026 T20 World Cup. Led by Heinrich Klaasen, the South African team management will bank on its in-form batter Reeza Hendricks to come up clutch once again in the impending Johannesburg dead-rubber.
The Pakistan cricket team received a 0-3 larruping to Australia ‘Down Under’, and lost one of the T20Is in Zimbabwe earlier this month. The ‘Men in Green’, under the leadership of Mohammad Rizwan, also lost its three-match series in South Africa with heavy defeats in the first two games. Currently on a three-match losing streak, the Pakistan team needs to find some momentum in white-ball cricket as they inch closer towards the 2025 Champions Trophy at home.
