Pakistan vs South Africa Tests full schedule, live timings (IST), streaming

Pakistan’s tour of South Africa was disappointing as they lost the T20 series against the Proteas 0-2. However, Mohammad Rizwan-led Pakistan bounced back strongly in the three-match ODI series, which saw them record their first-ever whitewash over South Africa in ODI cricket in the Rainbow Nation. With the white-ball cricket part done and dusted, both teams will now focus on the red ball in an all-important two-match Test series starting Thursday, December 26.

 

The home team, South Africa, will be a more desperate side in the series as they have a chance to feature in their second-ever final of an ICC event after the ICC T20 World Cup final earlier this year. They now stand only one win away from booking their place in the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle at Lord’s in 2025. The Proteas currently have 63.33 percentage points and are at the top of the WTC points table. If they win the first Test of the series, they will reach 66.66 per cent points, and even a loss in the next Test will only drop them down to 61.11 per cent, which will still be more than enough to see them through to the final. The scenario remains the same if they lose the first Test and win the second. 

 

 

On the other hand, Pakistan, who are in the seventh spot on the points table with 33.33 percentage points, are already out of the final race. This means their only job will be to make South Africa’s life tough and keep them on edge throughout the series.
