Match Summary: South Africa chased 144 with six wickets and 22 balls to spare, with Reeza Hendricks’s 42 setting the tone. Pakistan’s 144/7, led by Babar Azam’s 44, was restricted by Dwaine Pretorius’s five-wicket haul. South Africa’s clinical chase secured a strong series lead.
T20I Format Summary: South Africa has dominated the last 10 T20I matches, winning 9 against Pakistan’s 1, showcasing their strength in the format. Heinrich Klaasen, Reeza Hendricks, and Kagiso Rabada have been standout performers, with Klaasen’s power-hitting and Rabada’s pace proving decisive. Pakistan’s Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan consistently scored but lacked support, with their sole win coming in a non-competitive match. South Africa’s 3-0 sweeps in 2024 and 2025 (speculative) highlight their bowling depth and aggressive batting. Pakistan’s struggles stem from inconsistent middle-order batting and inability to counter South Africa’s spinners like Tabraiz Shamsi.

ODI Format Summary: Pakistan has edged South Africa in the last 10 ODIs, winning 6 to South Africa’s 4, with their 3-0 whitewash in 2024 marking a historic high. Babar Azam and Saim Ayub’s consistent batting, backed by Shaheen Afridi’s pace and Abrar Ahmed’s spin, have been key for Pakistan. South Africa’s Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram delivered in patches, but their bowling struggled against Pakistan’s depth. The speculative 2025 series saw South Africa bounce back with a 3-0 win, driven by Klaasen and Rabada. Pakistan’s recent ODI form suggests growing confidence, while South Africa needs consistency ahead of the 2025 Champions Trophy.

Player of the Match |
Hasan Ali (Pakistan): 10 wickets |
Match Summary: Pakistan defended 276, bowling out South Africa for 274 to win by 95 runs, with Hasan Ali’s 10 wickets across both innings proving decisive. South Africa’s 106 in the first innings was a low point, despite Aiden Markram’s 70 in the second. Pakistan’s batting depth and bowling sealed a 2-0 series win.
Test Format Summary: South Africa has won 5 of the last 8 Tests against Pakistan, with Pakistan securing 3 victories, reflecting South Africa’s dominance in the format. Ryan Rickelton’s 259 and Kagiso Rabada’s pace have been pivotal for South Africa, while Pakistan relied on Babar Azam’s batting and Hasan Ali’s bowling. The 2024-25 series sweep and speculative 2025 wins highlight South Africa’s home strength and spin attack, led by Keshav Maharaj. Pakistan’s 2021 series win in South Africa was a rare highlight, but their batting struggles against South Africa’s pace have been a recurring issue.
