After winning the ODI series 2-1, Pakistan will have all the confidence in the world to win the T20 series as well. With more quality on the Pakistani side and main players leaving for IPL on the Proteas’ side, chances of a South African victory seem less likely.

Pitch and Weather report
The pitch will be beneficial for batsmen and records suggest that a score of 200 would be enough to win the game but anything less than 180 can be bad news.
The weather will be around 26-28 degrees Celsius with humidity around 15% and chances of rain will be negligible although, cloudy weather is expected in the latter part of the game.
