Pakistan Triumphs Over South Africa in Thrilling 2nd Test Clash

On October 20th, 2025, Pakistan and South Africa will renew their cricketing rivalry as they face off in the 2nd and final Test match of their series in Rawalpindi. The hosts, Pakistan, have climbed to second place in the World Test Championship standings after their victory over the defending champions in the previous match.

In the upcoming clash, Pakistan is likely to once again prepare spin-friendly tracks, similar to the ones used in Lahore, where Noman Ali claimed 10 wickets across two innings. However, this time, South Africa will have the services of Keshav Maharaj, who missed the 1st Test due to a groin injury. Maharaj's inclusion is expected to boost the Proteas' spin attack as they look to level the series.

The match is set to commence at 10:30 AM IST on October 20th, with the toss scheduled for 10 AM. Both teams will be eager to secure a win and gain valuable points in the World Test Championship race.
