PAK vs SA Match Preview:
Pakistan will be desperate to win the upcoming match to avoid further embarrassment. Things have gone really bad for Pakistan cricket in recent months, and losing another series on home soil will only make things worse for them.
After losing the Asia Cup final and failing to win the home Test series against the Proteas, the Men in Green are on the verge of losing the ongoing T20 series as well. They were completely outclassed by the tourists in the first T20I and will have to do something special to draw level.
