What will be the result of the 3rd Test between South Africa and Pakistan?

[MenInG]

Faf not playing, some injuries for the homeside which could weaken their batting - so can Pakistan walk away from this 3-match Test series with a face saving draw or even a win!?

 

[Amjid Javed]

3-0 SA - our village cricket 4th x1 standard batting will be exposed again.

 

[ILcricket]

Faf out , possibly Markram & Amla missing out too gives a massive opportunity to visitors to make it 2-1 here .

 

[SportsWarrior]

Pakistan will win the third match. They have gained lots of confidence from their batting show and SA will be potentially without three of their first choice players

 

[PakPremi]

Faf out , possibly Markram & Amla missing out too gives a massive opportunity to visitors to make it 2-1 here .

Pak will win. FaF has scored the runs he was going to score in this series anyway Humza would score in his place. Other two would be fit for the match, lots of time left.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Their batting will be brittle with both Amla and Markram injured, faf out and Zubayr making his debut. If Pakistan get to bat first, you are favourites to win this.

 

[abhay]

If they can't win this one, they will never

 

[TM Riddle]

My money on Pakistan due to injuries and other problems plaguing the South African batsmen.

 

[Mr.Q]

Pakistan should try to win this one. The series is already lost so they can play freely without pressure. Put pressure on SA with aggressive field placements. Just don’t let them build big partnerships one after the other. I think it’ll be 2-1.

 

[CricketDon]

South Africa win by 7-8 wickets

South Africa win by 200 plus runs

South Africa win by an innings


Only possible results.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

It's a dead rubber so perfect for those batsmen who fail in pressure situations to suddenly hit some form. Could well see a Pakistan win, although SA would still remain favourites in my book.

 

[Itachi]

I see 2-1 on the cards. No way Pakistan could lose to a RSA team without faf, amla, Mar. If you lose, there are seriously fatal problems in Pakistan cricket system. Blaming the players will be easy way out.

 

[Swashbuckler]

If Faf, Amla and Markram miss out Pakistan should win. If only Faf is out SA are favorites.

 

[Majid Khan]

It’s easy for SA, just prepare a pitch that offers a bit of pace and bounce, and they can play any 11 South Africans, the Pakistani batsmen will get skittled out for under 200, and their batsmen are good enough to cope with 130kph trundlers and put up 350-400 odd on the same wicket.

 

[Mahee]

Disappointed that Pakistan could not beat this South African C team which does not have ABD and also after batting first in both the tests...now with Faf out for the final test, expecting Pakistan to earn an innings victory..if that doesn't happen, Pakistan should stop playing test cricket.

You mean anything less than innings victory is not ok? What if they win by only runs or wickets?

 

[TeamPak95]

Pakistan will win via a century from Technique in the first innings and a century from Misbah jr. in the second. Thus, the team will continue the tradition of feeding grapes to our ever-so untouchable seniors and praise the glory in which they have bestowed upon our test team.

 

[Mahee]

yes, anything less than innings victory is not ok....this SA side is already too weak without ABD ...and now with faf out they are no competition to this full strength Pakistan side

 

[Ganju Baba]

Innings + 150 run phainta to SA.

Pak has this match in the bag.

 

[Abdullah]

Pak to win it inshaAllah

 

[Abdullah]

Pak to win it inshaAllah but need to pick this team

1 imam- last chance saloon, own he he needs to do a Shan for 18 months
2 Shan
3 Azhar
4 Asad- still in the last chance saloon
5 Babar
6 Shadab
7 sarfaraz
8 faheem
9 Abbas
10 amir
11 Hasan/shaheen who ever is more capable of bowling a 4 over hostile spell ( ie Shaheen if he is fully rested up)
If that team wins the toss , victory is almost guaranteed

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Jo marzi karlo Pak ne haarna he aisi wicket par.

But ... I want to see them at the least try hard and take the game close. At the least score 250+ and bowl SA out under 300 (that should be possible).

Hopefully we get the combination right this time. That would be a start!

 

[The Viper]

SAF will probably still win. They will still a have their bowling lineup at full strength and Amla and Markram will most likely be fit.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan has a genuine chance of winning especially if they bat first. Faf is someone they cannot replace overnight.

 

[giri26]

Draw is not possible as both teams have fickle batting line up. I would go for South African win just on the basis of the crisis currently within the Pakistan camp. In spite of missing Faf and possibly Markham, I would give the hosts more chance of winning.

 

[MenInG]

I will say a Pak win - out of desperation!

 

[Sunny_majoka]

I will say a Pak win - out of desperation!

A win here will no help us to get rid of sarfraz and co from Test team

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Oh my god, there's one left still.

When be the T20's starting man?

 

[hadi123]

Hard to look past a South African win, them having 1-2 key players unavailable for selection won't mean much.

 

[IndianMafia]

Pakistan winning by a runs !

 

[Ramsay]

Pakistan will win and Bobby Azam will score a century.

 

[Fahdi]

If the pitch looks like the first 2 where spinners have no role to play then go with 4 fast bowlers in Amir, Abbas, Hassan and Shaheen. If SA are without Faf, Markram and Amla then Pakistan need to make sure they give their batsmen no quarter. Play Babar at 4. We should be able to secure one win at least I guess.

 

[Shaka81]

I'm predicting another meek surrender by the Pakistan batsmen and an easy win for South Africa

 

[Zeeraq]

South Africa will win this match.

 

[Plumb]

Win or loss nothing will change, next test series is after 9-10 months I guess.
Same players will be back no one will remember loss to SL/NZ/SA.

Unless I see some drastic changes in the setup top to bottom I got no hope been watching this recycling drama for a long time now.

 

[indianpanacea]

Pakistan has a fair chance to win provided they get rid of Farhat, and Sarfaraz in this match
Azhar
Shaan
Imam
Asad
Babar
Rizwan
Faheem
Shahdab
Hassan
Shaheen
Abbas

Pakistan will lose 3-0. They can play their under 19 team and our batting will make them out to be world beaters.

Sarfaraz will be dropped as captain.

Think Pakistan will do well in the ODI series if they do well in the 3rd Test, mind over matter issue.

Add your votes now!

 

[MenInG]

Afraid the result is heading only one way!

 

[ILcricket]

changed my mind , 3-0 .

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

SA will crush Pakistan by 120-150 runs. These guys get very nervous batting in the last innings.
