The second Test between Pakistan and South Africa is set to get underway on October 20, 2025, at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, and it’s shaping up to be a crucial clash for both sides. Pakistan head into this match with a 1-0 lead after a dominant performance in Lahore, where their spinners exploited the conditions brilliantly to secure a 93-run win. The hosts will be looking to wrap up the series and kickstart their World Test Championship campaign with back-to-back wins on home soil.

With this article, we bring you the Dream11 prediction for today's match to help fantasy players pick the best team. This will also guide you with the best PAK vs SA Dream11 team prediction.

PAK vs SA Match Preview

After a commanding 93-run win in the first Test, Pakistan will look to seal the series when they face South Africa in the second and final match in Rawalpindi. The hosts made full use of spin-friendly conditions in Lahore, with Noman Ali and Sajid Khan dominating through the Proteas’ batting line-up.

South Africa, meanwhile, are aiming to bounce back and level things. Their top order struggled against spin and reverse swing, something they’ll need to address quickly with similar conditions expected in Rawalpindi. With the World Test Championship points on the line, expect another closely fought battle. Pakistan have the home advantage, but South Africa will be desperate to avoid a series defeat.
