South Africa, having secured their place in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2025, will look to complete a series sweep as they face Pakistan in the second Test starting Friday, January 3, at Newlands, Cape Town.
The Proteas claimed a narrow two-wicket win in the first Test at Centurion, thanks to a game-changing 51-run ninth-wicket partnership between Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen. Rabada and Jansen added 32 runs off 31 balls on Day 4 to secure the victory.
Aiden Markram was named Player of the Match for his consistent knocks, while debutant Corbin Bosch contributed with both bat and ball to build a crucial first-innings lead. Dane Paterson’s five-wicket haul was another highlight.
For Pakistan, Mohammad Abbas impressed with six second-innings wickets, but their top order struggled. South Africa is likely to field the same XI, while Pakistan may consider changes as they aim to level the series.
