**Cape Town, South Africa –** South Africa, already securing its spot in the World Test Championship final, looks to extend its impressive six-match winning streak against Pakistan in the second and final Test at Newlands Cricket Ground. The Proteas snatched a thrilling two-wicket victory in the first Test in Pretoria, overcoming a late Pakistan surge. Pakistan captain Shan Masood acknowledged the need for his team to be more decisive with bat and ball, after failing to capitalize on opportunities in the previous match.
Historically, Pakistan has struggled in South Africa, winning only two of their last 16 Tests there, with no wins in Cape Town. South Africa’s starting XI features familiar faces like Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton, and Kagiso Rabada, while Pakistan will rely on players such as Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan to turn the series around. The match promises a compelling contest as South Africa aims to maintain its winning momentum and Pakistan strives to salvage some pride.
