These two sides have not met in a series for five years, when they drew a two-Test series 1-1 in the United Arab Emirates. South Africa will be looking to continue their recent home successes after their succession of series victories over Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, India and Australia in the past year.

In the last two years, Pakistan have only won Test series against West Indies, although recent drawn series in England in 2016 and 2018 will give them encouragement ahead of their tour of South Africa.
