Babar Azam must be leading one of your 11Wickets Fantasy teams.

Match Details:

The 2nd and final test match of the bilateral series between Pakistan and South Africa will be played at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi.

The match is scheduled to start at 10:00 AM local time and 10:30 PM IST and it will be streamed live on Sony Sports Network.

Preview:

The second and final Test match between Pakistan and South Africa will be played at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi starting from February 4th. With favourable conditions and having played too much of domestic cricket on their own soil, Pakistan smelled their 1st test victory after almost one year, when they thrashed South Africa in the 1st test by 7 wickets. They looked a confident side in every department of the game and it is difficult to beat them in their home conditions.

On the other hand, in the 1st test, South Africa handed the victory to Pakistan inside 4 days, which highlights their lack adaptability and intent. In the first innings, all of their top 7 batsmen got starts, but none of them went big, which made them lose the match. Their batsmen need to be patient and play as long as possible.
