South Africa, Pakistan Set for Test Series Clash

South Africa and Pakistan are set to face off in a two-match Test series beginning on December 26 at Supersport Park, Centurion. South Africa is keen to secure a victory to reach the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final in 2025, as they currently lead the WTC standings. Pakistan, despite being out of contention for the WTC final, aims to challenge South Africa following their historic ODI series win against them, marking their first-ever series triumph on South African soil. The Proteas swept the T20I series 2-0, but Pakistan bounced back with a 3-0 whitewash in the ODIs, with standout performances from players like Saim Ayub. The first Test will be broadcast on Sports18 Network and streamed via the JioCinema app and website in India. Fans can expect a competitive series as Pakistan looks to build on their ODI success and South Africa aims to secure their place in the WTC final.
