Pakistan cricket team will lock horns against an in-experienced South African in their own backyard on Thursday.
South Africa, led by Heinrich Klaasen, has only David Miller in its lineup with some experience of playing in Pakistan. Miller toured Pakistan in 2017 with a World XI side which played three-match Twenty20 series with du Plessis as its skipper.
Pakistan in their backyard could be a tough cookie to crack though, especially after South Africa are coming fresh from a 3-0 defeat to England. Not only are they undefeated in the last six T20Is at home, the team management now also has a vote of confidence, thanks to their 2-0 series win in the Tests, and will be keyed up for the contest. That’s never a bad thing for a young squad that has four uncapped players in its ranks. The series could see debuts for left-arm spinner Zafar Gohar, bowling all-rounder Amad Butt, all-rounder Danish Aziz and leg-spinner Zahid Mehmood.
All three T20Is will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in a space of four days, so the matches will come thick and fast.
