South Africa and Pakistan are set to clash in a highly anticipated three-match T20I series, with the first match scheduled for Tuesday, December 10, at Kingsmead in Durban, South Africa.

The match is scheduled to start at 9:30 PM IST and will be broadcast live on the Sports18 network, including Sports18-1 (HD & SD) channels. For those preferring online streaming, the match will be available on the JioCinema app and website.

The squads for both teams have been announced, with South Africa featuring players like Ottneil Baartman, Matthew Breetzke, Donovan Ferreira, Reeza Hendricks, and David Miller. Pakistan’s squad includes Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Jahandad Khan, Mohammad Hasnain, and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
