The way this second T20 international match between South Africa and Pakistan will be played will depend a lot on result of the first T20 International. If we start taking a few assumptions, then in case of a South African win in the first T20, two things can happen. One might be that South Africa completely route Pakistan and go on to win the trophy and on the other hand Pakistan might just edge past South Africa to bring back the lost vigor. And if it is Pakistan who wins the first T20, South Africa will surely bounce back. It will always be expected that the South African Team will be the one who will have the upper hand but as we know about the uncertainties of Cricket, things can change rapidly.

The second T20 international between the two sides will be played on 22nd November at Newlands. This game will be expected to be even bigger with Pakistan 1 – 0 up in the series as the Proteas will do their best to come back and level the series. It is mostly a common sight in South Africa that a T20 game turns into a festival and if the correct results occur ahead of the game then it will be one of the greatest games. All these on the possibilities of the result but if the teams are being considered in general, then again there will be no point in undermining the Pakistan team as they have quite a few hitters who can really smoke the ball and time it as well.

The scenario is very much the same for the South African team as well. With the big hitters and the game changes that they have in their side along with the added advantage of home support, the team might just excel on the day and win it comfortably. Whatever be it, one can lest be assured that if the T20 series get going with a draw, the One Day International series will come alive like anything.
