SA vs PAK Reddy Anna Match Prediction: Who Will Win Today’s 3rd T20I Between South Africa and Pakistan?
South Africa and Pakistan face off in the third and final T20I at The Wanderers Stadium tonight. With the series already out of Pakistan’s grasp, South Africa will look to complete a whitewash, while Pakistan will aim to end 2024 on a high.
South Africa Overview
South Africa has dominated this series with back-to-back wins in high-scoring matches. The Proteas have a solid record at The Wanderers Stadium, winning 14 out of their 26 completed T20Is. A victory tonight will give them their first T20I series whitewash in over three years.
Key players like Reeza Hendricks, who recently hit a century, and all-rounder George Linde (highest wicket-taker of the series), will be crucial for South Africa. Young batter Matthew Breetzke also has an opportunity to shine and solidify his spot in the lineup.
Pakistan Overview

However, Saim Ayub, fresh from a career-best 98 (57)* in the second match, and consistent performer Babar Azam will hold the key. Shaheen Shah Afridi, Pakistan’s leading wicket-taker this year, remains their biggest bowling threat.
