Pakistan Tour of South Africa 2024 Schedule, Full Squads, Timing, Venues, and All You Need To Know
By Rahul Chaube Invalid date IST
Pakistan Tour of South Africa 2024: After securing back-to-back white-ball series wins against Zimbabwe, the Men in Green now head to South Africa for an exciting multi-format series. This marks the first time the two sides will face each other across formats since Pakistan’s successful 2021 tour of South Africa, during which they triumphed in both the ODI and T20I series.
Historically, the head-to-head record paints an interesting picture. In T20Is, Pakistan has a slight edge with 12 wins out of 22 matches, while in ODIs, South Africa has dominated with 53 wins to Pakistan's 30 in 83 games. In Tests, South Africa remains ahead in 28 games, with Pakistan managing just six wins alongside seven draws.
South Africa comes into the series with mixed form, having lost their white-ball series against India but gaining a morale boost with a victory in the Durban Test against Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s recent tour success in Zimbabwe will have bolstered their confidence, setting the stage for a competitive showdown.
Let's take a look at the Pakistan Tour of South Africa 2024 Schedule, Full Squads, Timing, Venues, and more:
