At this moment, Pakistan has no fears of losing, as their fans have probably lost all the expectations from the team. They were always supposed to be underdogs against India, but after the way in which they meekly surrendered, no fan would rely on the side for the near future. Up next, they are pitted against the world’s number one ODI side in the form of South Africa, a team that has begun its campaign with a thumping victory over Sri Lanka.
Pakistan’s only source of inspiration for this game would be to replicate their heroics against the very same opposition during their encounter in the 2015 World Cup in Auckland, where Pakistan successfully defended a low total and surprised everyone.
In order to win, Pakistan will have to play out of their skins and do a few vital things. Below, we have a look at the five tactics which Pakistan must use to defeat South Africa.
