Pakistan are all set to face South Africa in the first match of a thrilling two-Test series in 2025. After a disappointing Asia Cup, where Pakistan lost to their arch-rivals three times, including the final, the team will be eager to turn things around in Test cricket. However, it won’t be easy, as they are up against South Africa, the current World Test Championship winners.

Shan Masood and the rest of the Pakistan team will need to show a much better performance than they did in their last Test series against the West Indies at home, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Pitch Report – Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore

The pitch in Lahore is expected to help spin bowlers. Batting might be difficult, but the first day and a half should be the easiest for batsmen. Because of this, winning the toss will be very important, and both teams would prefer to bat first. As the game goes on, the pitch will start to wear out, giving the spinners more chances to take control.
