South Africa tour of Pakistan

 South Africa is going to tour Pakistan for the first time since 2007. In 2007 home series against Pakistan the South Africans literally dominated Pakistan beating the home side Pakistan 3-2 in ODI's and 1-0 in test matches. The South African tour of Pakistan in 2007 was Inzamam ul Haq's last international series in test cricket for Pakistan. Inzamam retired from all forms of cricket after South Africa defeated Pakistan 1-0 in test series thus finishing their tour of Pakistan on a winning note.  Mark Boucher the current South African coach played that series for South Africa. My concern for Pakistan team is not in the 3 Twenty20 internationals but my real concern for Pakistan cricket team is the two test match series that Pakistan play in their home series against South Africa.

  I am showing my concern in test series for Pakistan because we have quite a settled and decent Twenty20 team and also because South Africa are sending their second string twenty20 team to Pakistan. On the other hand Pakistan has quite an inexperienced and weak test team. 

 Pakistan has a weakness in every aspect of test cricket whether it being batting, bowling or fielding and South Africa has a clear edge and superiority in every department of the game over Pakistan. In batting we heavily rely on Babar Azam and we have a weak and unsettled opening pair. We have Abid Ali as an opener who's performance overseas is not satisfactory. Our bowling is inexperienced and lacking penetration and relying heavily on Yasir Shah. Our squad of 20 players for the test series announced by the selection committee consists of nine debutant uncapped players showing inexperience and extreme weakness. 

Cricket is a team game and we cant just rely on one or two players something which Pakistan does in test cricket as Pakistani cricket team relies heavily on Babar Azam and Yasir Shah in test cricket. 

My prediction is South Africa will whitewash us in the test series 2-0 and we might win the Twenty20 series 2-1. I wish Pakistan cricket team the best of luck for their home series against South Africa.
