T20 WC: PAK v SA | Guide for D3.club
Match Details
Date: November 2, 2022
Venue: Sydney
Time: 7 pm LOCAL, 1:30 pm IST
South Africa is the only unbeaten team in the tournament and going by their form it is going to be an uphill task for Pakistan to snatch 2 points from them. The Proteas have one of the tournament's most explosive batting lineups and a pace battery that can give any team a run for their money.
It would be interesting to see if they bring in Tabraiz Shamsi given how the conditions at SCG have played out but they’ll have to bench one of their pacers who haven’t put a foot wrong so far. Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi have bagged 4-wicket hauls against Bangladesh and India respectively.
Problems continue to rise for Pakistan as Fakhar Zaman has been ruled out of the tournament with a knee injury. It has been a very disappointing start given the team they had this year. The onus solely lies on the skipper Babar Azam who has struggled to take his tally of runs in double digits.

Both teams have faced each other 21 times in t20is and twice in T20 WCs.

Pitch Report:
The Sydney cricket ground so far has been the best batting surface out of all the venues. It
tends to slow down in the 2nd innings, especially during a doubleheader. Openers have enjoyed their time at SCG more than anywhere else.

Dependable Picks:
Rilee Rossouw
This year he averaged 40 and struck 167 in Pakistan’s t20 league, Was the 2nd highest run
scorer in England’s t20 league with 623 runs with 192 SR. On their national comeback, scored 96, went on to score a 100 against India in Indore, and started their WC campaign with another 100 against Bangladesh. If you are searching for a consistent player in the D3.club , Rilee Rossouw is the name.
Shadab Khan
He is Pakistan’s best fielder and vice-captain of the side. He is often promoted in the batting
order and has won Pakistan a couple of games with the bat in the last couple of months. Add to that his 4- over economical spells in every game. He is a complete package in t20s who’ll fetch you plenty of points in d3.club.
Differential Picks:
Mohammad Wasim Jnr
He is a wicket-taking machine. So far, he has picked up 6 wickets just from 2 games
and is brilliant in the death overs along with Haris Rauf. In addition to that, he
knows how to use the long handle in the end overs.
David Miller
A side's lower middle order and a finisher are the most difficult and responsible
positions to fill in T20is. It is one of the toughest jobs and it is not an easy thing to
swing your bat right away. It is essential to have skilled batters because
games are often made and broken in the final phases.
And, who else than David Miller is the perfect candidate for the job currently. Miller is one of the greatest finishers this format has probably seen with tons of experience under his belt. No one has scored more runs than him at a better SR in T20Is batting at 5 or below.
If we apply the same parameters, Only Kieron Pollard has scored more runs than him at a better SR in the Indian t20 league. A bankable pick in the d3.club along with Markram and Rizwan.
Punter’s Corner- Risky Pick
Quinton de Kock has started this tournament on a high note with quick-fire knocks against Zim and Bangladesh. But his consistency is the biggest hindrance and has struggled against top teams in the recent past. H failed to deliver against India and is a suspect against Pak’s pace attack. He is a high-risk high-reward pick. Babar has had a horrible start to his season, but he is a good enough player to bounce back
