Match Preview
This series revives a classic rivalry, with South Africa aiming to build on their Test championship success and Pakistan leveraging home advantage. Matches unfold in Lahore and Rawalpindi, starting with the first Test on October 12 at Gaddafi Stadium.
The second Test follows on October 19 in Rawalpindi. T20Is are scheduled for October 27, 30, and November 1, also in Rawalpindi. ODIs conclude on November 4, 6, and 7 in Lahore. Games begin around 10:00 AM PKT, suiting viewers in both nations. Pitches in Lahore offer spin later, while Rawalpindi favors batsmen early—expect high scores in white-ball formats and gritty Tests.
South Africa arrives rested after a strong home season, testing depth on spin-friendly tracks. Aiden Markram captains the Tests with Kagiso Rabada swinging the new ball. White-ball games see David Miller lead, featuring Quinton de Kock’s aggression and Anrich Nortje’s pace. They target series sweeps, especially in Tests where they hold the edge.
Pakistan, under Shan Masood for Tests, packs firepower with Babar Azam anchoring and Abrar Ahmed spinning tricks. The 18-man squad includes Abdullah Shafique, Aamir Jamal, and Faisal Akram for variety. Home crowds fuel their fightback, but injuries test resilience. White-ball formats suit their spinners on turning pitches.
Head to Head
South Africa and Pakistan share a storied history. In Tests, they’ve played 30 matches, where South Africa claims 17 wins, Pakistan secures 6, and 7 end in draws. Pakistan shines at home, winning 3 of 9 there. For ODIs, across 85 games, South Africa leads with 52 victories, followed by Pakistan’s 32, plus one no-result.
T20Is show balance in 24 encounters, with Pakistan taking 12 wins and South Africa matching closely. Recent form suggests South Africa, who won the last T20 series 2-0 in 2021, is the stronger team, but Pakistan’s home ODIs often deliver upsets.
