The South Africa vs Pakistan 2nd Test takes place at Newlands from January 3 - 7, 2024. These two evenly matched sides have played each other in all formats recently and this should be another enthralling encounter.

This match looked a forgone conclusion after the hosts put on a dominant display on the first two days. Having scored an enormous 615 runs, they restricted the Shaheens to just 194 and enforced the follow on. However, the visitors have now started fighting back. Shan Masood and Babar Azam got things going, before the latter was caught off the bowling of Marco Jansen for 81. Masood continued to dig in, with Khurram Shahzad joining him at the crease. The day ended with Pakistan on 213/1, with the skipper on 102 and his new partner on 8.

South Africa will remain confident of getting a victory, but the wicket of Masood will be key in deciding how this game plays out. The visitors still have a huge amount of runs to accumulate if the Proteas are even going to be made to bat again, but things are more in the balance than it seemed they would be earlier in this Test.
