Series: South Africa tour of Pakistan, 2025
Venue: Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi
Date & Time: Today, 8:00 PM LOCAL
When: October 28, 2025; 8pm Local Time (5pm SAT, 3pm GMT, 8.30am IST)
Where: Rawalpindi
What to expect: Clear skies, a willing pitch and a fast outfield. In short, perfect conditions for T20 cricket.
Team news:
Pakistan:
Babar Azam is back in the mix as a replacement for Fakhar Zaman. Mohammad Haris has been left out in favour of Usman Khan.
Possible XI: Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Salman Agha (capt), Hasan Nawaz, Mohammad Nawaz, Usman Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Faheem Ashraf, Naseem Shah, Abrar Ahmed.
South Africa:
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 Miller and Coetzee have been replaced by Matthew Breetzke and Tony de Zorzi, who is uncapped in the format.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.
Possible XI: Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Quinton de Kock, Tony de Zorzi, Matthew Breetzke, Dewald Brevis, Donovan Ferreira (capt), Corbin Bosch, George Linde, Ottneil Baartman, Nqaba Peter, Lungi Ngidi.
What they said:
“We’ve sent him back to first-class cricket after a conversation with him. He wanted to focus on improving his technique for one-day cricket, so we gave him a bit of a break from T20s. That’s created an opportunity for another top order player.” – Mike Hesson explains Fakhar Zaman’s omission.
“In a three-match series, if you win the first one it puts you on a good footing going into the next two.” – Donovan Ferreira does the math.
Squads:
Pakistan Squad: Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan(w), Babar Azam, Hasan Nawaz, Salman Agha(c), Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Abrar Ahmed, Salman Mirza, Usman Khan, Usman Tariq, Abdul Samad
South Africa Squad: Quinton de Kock(w), Reeza Hendricks, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Dewald Brevis, Donovan Ferreira(c), George Linde, Corbin Bosch, Nqabayomzi Peter, Lungi Ngidi, Nandre Burger, Lizaad Williams, Tony de Zorzi, Matthew Breetzke, Ottneil Baartman, Andile Simelane
