With a comprehensive victory in the first Test, Babar Azam and his men stand on the cusp of history, aiming to become the first Pakistan team to complete a whitewash over South Africa in a Test series. Given their struggles against South Africa in a five-day format, Pakistan will certainly achieve something special if they manage to beat the visitors in a Test series after 18 years.

On the other hand, South Africa’s batting woes continued as they lost the first Test by seven wickets. The visitors will take heart from the fact that the surface at Rawalpindi will certainly assist the seamers. This will be an ideal opportunity for Quinton de Kock and co. to make a strong comeback and level the two-match Test series.

Pakistan Team and Form News

From team selections to performances, everything went accordingly to plan for the Pakistan cricket team. After being reduced to 27 for 4, middle and lower-order showed a lot of determination and resilience to help Pakistan post a competitive score in their first innings.

After being snubbed for almost a decade, middle-order batsman Fawad Alam delivered a batting masterclass on a surface that had variable bounce. Left-hander scored a splendid century at his home venue and will be looking to continue his rich vein of form with the bat at Rawalpindi.

Shaheen Shah Afridi and Hasan Ali bowled well in the first Test without much luck. The conditions at Rawalpindi will certainly help them showcase their skills with the new-ball.

South Africa Team and Form News

South Africa will certainly make two changes to their playing XI as Left-arm wrist spinner Tabraiz Shamsi might come in place of Lungi Ngidi. All-rounder Wiann Mulder will replace George Linde, who did not bowl much in Karachi Test.

The visitors will need to come up with better plans to play spin to avoid whitewash at Rawalpindi.

The big positive from the previous game was opener Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen spending a lot of time at the crease. Besides Markram and Rassie, Dean Elgar also looked fluent with the bat in the first innings.
