Pakistan will face South Africa in the first T20I at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium today, October 28. Pakistan come into the series on back of a poor show in the Asia Cup, where they lost thrice to India. The team got great starts in two out of the three games, but suffered a collapse to hand the advantage to India. Pakistan realised the need for a reliable middle-order batter in the T20I team and recalled Babar Azam in the squad. Babar was left out of the T20I team after the team's poor show in T20 World Cup 2024.

With the T20 World Cup lined up next year in similar conditions of India and Sri Lanka, the series is a great opportunity for the Proteas to get used to the conditions. They, however, will be without multiple key players, including Aiden Markram and Kagiso Rabada. David Miller and Gerald Coetzee will also not be available due to injuries. How To Watch Pakistan Vs South Africa In India?The Pakistan Vs South Africa T20I series will not be televised in India, while the live streaming will also not be available. This is probably because no broadcaster showed interest in the series due to strained India-Pakistan ties. The live streaming of the Test series, however, was done by the Sports TV channel on YouTube, but we can't say if they purchased the rights or streamed the series illegally. You must check with the government laws to see if viewing the channel is legal in your area.
