Pakistan vs South Africa, 1st T20I

Tue, Oct 28, '25 at 10:09 AM

Venue: Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi

What to expect: 

Clear skies, a willing pitch and a fast outfield. In short, perfect conditions for T20 cricket

Babar Azam is back in the mix as a replacement for Fakhar Zaman. Mohammad Haris has been left out in favour of Usman Khan.
David Miller, who was to have captained South Africa in the series, has been ruled out with a strained hamstring. A pectoral muscle problem has taken Gerald Coetzee out of the equation. Miller and Coetzee have been replaced by Matthew Breetzke and Tony de Zorzi, who is uncapped in the format. The captaincy falls to Donovan Ferreira
