PAK vs SA 2nd Test Date and Time, Live Cricket Streaming, Newlands Pitch Report, Cape Town Weather Forecast details

Pakan vs South Africa 2nd Test Date, Live Streaming, Newlands Pitch Report, Cape Town Weather Update: Shan Masood’s Pakan will lock horns against Temba Bavuma’s South Africa in the second Test at the Newlands in Cape Town on Friday. The hosts with a thrilling two-wicket win in the first Test have reached the World Test Championship final. Though from WTC’s perspective, there might not be much to play for but Pakan would look to level the series and would want to end the series on a high.
Here’s a look at all the details
Predicted XIs
PAK predicted XI: Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Agha Salman, Shan Masood (C), Saud Shakeel, Kamran Ghulam, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Abbas, Aamer Jamal, Khurram Shahzad
Player to watch out for: Babar Azam scored a half-century in the second innings for Pakan in that opening Test and has looked in sublime form. However, for Pakan to push for a win they need their talisman to come up with a ton.
SA Playing XI (confirmed): Aiden Markram, Wiaan Mulder, Ryan Rickelton, Tran Stubbs, Temba Bavuma(c), David Bedingham, Kyle Verreynne(w), Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Kwena Maphaka
Player to watch out for: In South African conditions Kagiso Rabada is a thorn in the flesh of the opposition sides. Once again his spells of bowling in the first innings and second innings might decide where this match will be heading.
Squads:
Pakan Squad: Shan Masood(c), Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan(w), Salman Agha, Aamer Jamal, Naseem Shah, Khurram Shahzad, Mohammad Abbas, Abdullah Shafique, Mir Hamza, Noman Ali, Haseebullah Khan

Pakan vs South Africa pitch report
The surface traditionally in Cape Town tends to ass the seamers right from ball one. Last year when India played at this venue the Test ended in two days. Hence both sides will be looking to add an extra seaming option in their line-ups.
Pakan vs South Africa weather report
The weather promises to be friendly for playing cricket. However, the team winning the toss might opt to bowl first as the wicket might flatten out as the game progresses and batting might get easier on days 4 and 5.
