Both teams are almost neck-and-neck in T20Is, with Pakistan having won 11, just one more than South Africa’s 10. However, Babar Azam’s men will go in with the confidence of never having lost to South Africa at the T20 World Cup. Pakistan has won all three T20 World Cup encounters against South Africa so far, though the last time they played each other in the tournament was back in 2012.
