Preview
South Africa will take on Pakistan in the 1st Test of the Pakistan tour of South Africa. Pakistan won their previous Test series against England 2-1 in Pakistan. On the other hand, South Africa won their previous series against Sri Lanka 2-0. This is a very important series in the context of WTC. A solitary win in the series would ensure South Africa's berth in the upcoming WTC Final. They are favourites to do it and Pakistan who are not in contention for the WTC Final will be looking to spoil the party. Even though Pakistan recently won the ODI and T20I series, the hosts have a great record against Pakistan in home Tests. South Africa will be led by Temba Bavuma and will be missing Coetzee due to injury. Pakistan have not won an overseas Test match in quite a while and they will be keen to correct their record. This promises to be a thrilling start to the series on Boxing Day.

Mohammad Rizwan PAK | WK
Mohammad Rizwan averages 50.90 in Tests this year, having made 509 runs and will also give points with his wicket-keeping. He will be a good captaincy pick.
Kagiso Rabada SA | BOWL

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Noman Ali
PAK | BOWL
Despite doing well in the previous series in Pakistan, conditions in South Africa generally is not helpful for spinners. So he can be left out for this match.
Abdullah Shafique
PAK | BAT
Abdullah Shafique scored three back to back ducks in the ODI Series and looked out of sorts. He might not get selected in the Playing XI.
