Match Winner: South Africa Champions
Both these two sides played against each other once in the league phase, with Pakistan coming out on top by 31 runs over South Africa. However, the Proteas missed out on AB de Villiers in that respective encounter.
With AB coming back into the scheme of things, we can expect a strong contest between these two exciting teams with South Africa Champions having their hands on the silverware.
