Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd T20I: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd T20I preview 

After a massive 2-0 sweep of South Africa in the recently concluded Test series, the Men in Green came into their white-ball series in high spirits. The home side has been able to carry forward their Test form into the T20Is to some extent but should still see their Thursday night win as too close for comfort. The excruciatingly close game saw the visitors go down just 4 runs short of a victory despite missing half their senior squad — something that Pakistan may not have been able to exploit as fully as they would've hoped. 

However, the victory does mean that South Africa have now failed to win a single match through this tour and face a chance of having to return home winless. The Proteas will get some hope from the fact that they came this close to a victory with a team that did not include Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada or Anrich Nortje, all of whom were rested for the home series against Australia that now stands cancelled. With a young new captain in Heinrich Klaasen and a team of many uncapped players, South Africa will be desperate to get a win on Saturday and take this T20I series to a 1-1 draw at least.
