South Africa v Pakistan - A quick look at the Record
Atul Kahate
South Africa have won the last ten matches against Pakistan. Full stop.
But can they do it again? With the kind of form that Pakistan are also
in, people are thinking of this one on Saturday as the 'virtual final'.
What does the record say? It says South Africa are firm favourites. But
who knows?
When South Africa Matches Won Lost NR Td Success %
Batted first 10 7 3 0 0 70.00
Batted last 11 7 4 0 0 63.64
Conclusion: South Africa is slightly better off setting a target
against Pakistan, although they have not been bad chasers, either!
Won the Toss 8 4 4 0 0 50.00 Lost the Toss 13 10 3 0 0 76.92
Conclusion: Cronje needs to lose the toss! Akram would like to lose
it as well, since Pakistan have done better having lost the toss.
