The South Africa vs Pakistan 1st Test takes place at Supersport Park, Centurion from December 26 - 30, 2024. It is the first of a two-match series and follows a compelling set of white ball fixtures.

The hosts won the first two T20s but their opponents fought back in the ODIs. The Proteas have called in a number of exciting young players for this two-match series. All-rounder Corbin Bosch and fast bowler Kwena Maphaka are among those to keep an eye on. Boss Shukri Conrad is hoping that Keshav Maharaj and Wiaan Mulder are fit enough to take part.

From skipper Shan Massood to batter Babar Azam and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, there is plenty of talent among the visitors too. When these sides last met for a Test series, back in the 2020/21 season, Pakistan won 2-0. But they were on home turf then. The white ball series might have brought fans some explosive action, but a Boxing Day Test is always special.
