South Africa take on Pakistan in a three-match T20I series starting February 11 – here’s all you need to know about the schedule, TV and live streaming details for the clash.
Pakistan completed a 2-0 whitewash in the Tests that preceded the T20I series and will be looking to carry that momentum into the white-ball leg of the tour. All three T20Is will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
The South Africa squad will be led by wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen and has only four members from the Test outfit in the T20I line-up. Pakistan will be led by Babar Azam, the No.2 ranked batsman in the ICC T20I batting rankings. Mohammad Hafeez, Pakistan’s leading T20I run-scorer in 2020, was excluded from the squad after an overlap of schedules, with the T10 league, and the resultant quarantine period cutting into the series against South Africa. The Pakistan squad has four uncapped players, with Fakhar Zaman and Wahab Riaz dropped, and Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan unavailable.
