Centurion: The two-match Test series between Pakistan and South Africa will start on Thursday at the SuperSport Park in Centurion.
South Africa are entering the series after conceding a clean sweep against Pakistan in the ODI series. However, the team recently beat Sri Lanka in the Test series in their backyard. The series win helped the South African side climb to the top of the World Test Championship (WTC) points table. Now, the series is crucial for the team and just one more win will ensure a place in the WTC final for Temba Bavuma and Co.
After winning the ODI series against South Africa, Pakistan will be aiming to continue their winning momentum. Recently, Pakistan beat England in the Test series at home. However, Pakistan’s record in South Africa goes against them as they have managed to win only two matches out of 14 fixtures. Pakistan last won a Test fixture in South Africa in 2007.
Time to switch up the formats once again!🔄
