The three-match T20I series between Pakistan and South Africa kicks off today in Rawalpindi. Both teams head into the series with significant changes and a desire to build momentum ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup.

The return of Babar Azam boosts Pakistan

For the home side, the spotlight is firmly on the return of star batter Babar Azam to the T20I setup. Having been recalled after being left out of recent T20I fixtures, including the Asia Cup, his presence is a massive boost for Pakistan’s batting order. Pakistan, led by Salman Ali Agha, will look to leverage their home advantage and the stability Babar provides, potentially batting at number three.

South Africa face leadership challenge

South Africa has been hit by two key injury setbacks just before the series. Veteran hitter and designated captain David Miller has been ruled out with a strained hamstring, and pacer Gerald Coetzee is sidelined with a pectoral muscle problem. Donovan Ferreira steps up to lead a squad featuring a mix of experience and youth.
