Team Preview of South Africa vs Pakistan 1st Test Match Prediction 2024

South Africa will need to turn everything back in their favor after they lost the ODI series completely to Pakistan, who won all three matches to get their first-ever whitewash series win in South Africa.

The test format is completely different but not entirely different from the ODI matches, which will give Pakistan great confidence in going further.

Temba Bavuma will look to lead his side in taking revenge and winning both test matches with a big margin, but it is not going to be easy against the team that dominated them in the ODI format.

Based on the outcome of that, we’ll do the necessary,” “We’ll see how severe it is, whether it’s only potentially the first Test (he misses) or both Test matches. Once I get the results of the scan, I’ll be in a better position to either replace [or] chat to the other coaches and make up my mind on the back of that.”
“Kesh is obviously one of the senior players in the side. He is a great sounding board. He’s got a huge amount of experience and he’s such a calming influence in the change room as well,” Conrad said. “And he’s an excellent spinner. Him, KG [Kagiso Rabada] and thankfully we’ve got Marco [Jansen] back – they’re really the triumvirate that will ensure that we get the bulk of the 20 wickets we need to win a Test match.”
Shukri Conrad Test Coach of South Africa said

The pitch is a great scoring venue, but the pace bowlers enjoy the surface. The first three days are great for the batters except for a few opening sessions, where pacers do get some purchase from the surface. However, in the fourth and fifth day, spinners get in and turn the ball a lot.

Important players for the South Africa Team in the match against the Pakistan Team

1. Kagiso Rabada has taken 22 wickets in 10 innings against Pakistan and will be crucial for the South Africa team. He took 6 wickets last time when he played against Pakistan at the same venue.

2. Marco Jansen is a great all-rounder in the test matches, taking 63 wickets in 26 innings with a strike rate of 37.4. At home, he took 41 wickets in just 16 innings. In 6 innings, he took 12 wickets at the same venue.

3. Aiden Markram will be a crucial player. He needs to contribute with bowling, too, because Pakistan has few left-handers. He averages 47.55 against Pakistan.

1. Mohammad Rizwan had an average of 83 in the 3 innings against South Africa, in which his highest was 115 not out.
