PAK vs SA Match Preview
Pakistan claimed a convincing victory in the first Test, displaying dominance on spin-friendly conditions and achieving a 1-0 lead in the series. The Rawalpindi surface is expected to offer similar assistance to spinners, which plays to Pakistan’s strengths. South Africa must adapt quickly to subcontinental conditions and counteract Pakistan’s potent spin attack to stay in the series. Pakistan looks well-balanced with form batters and effective bowling combinations, while South Africa’s lack of experience against quality spin remains a concern.
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at Rawalpindi is typically spin-friendly, offering significant turn as the match progresses. Expect the surface to be slow and abrasive, favoring spinners—particularly in the latter half of the game. Batting becomes more difficult in the fourth innings, so winning the toss and batting first is likely a considerable advantage.
PAK vs SA Weather Report
Weather in Rawalpindi is expected to be clear for all five days, with no significant chances of rain. Dry conditions will contribute to further pitch deterioration, enhancing support for the spinners as the match advances.

PAK vs SA Fantasy Picks

South Africa’s best choices are Aiden Markram for stability at the top and Keshav Maharaj for his potential to exploit turning conditions.
