The cricketing spotlight turns to Pakistan as they host South Africa in a highly anticipated three-match T20I series starting October 28, 2025. With the T20 World Cup 2026 on the horizon, both teams will use this series to fine-tune combinations, give opportunities to emerging talent, and build form in pressure conditions.
Pakistan welcome back key names such as Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah, while South Africa hand the captaincy to Donovan Ferreira in the absence of injured David Miller and rested stars including Aiden Markram and Tristan Stubbs. The return of Quinton de Kock adds further intrigue to an already compelling contest.
