Toss: I think Pakistan might win the toss, electing to bat first since the venue is considered batting-friendly, and there’s an advantage of setting a target.
Winner: The South Africans look pretty strong and confident after the first win. Pakistan do have the home factor, but their unstable batting might just be a problem. I slightly favor South Africa to win the 2nd T20I.
Score Range: If Pakistan bat first, expect something around 170-190 runs. If South Africa bat first, they could post 180 plus and put Pakistan under pressure.
Key battles: Pakistan will need their top order to fire and Nawaz to make a big contribution. South Africa will rely on their momentum and their bowling opening up early.
