Pakistan vs South Africa 1st Test Live Telecast Channel: The SportsRush presents before you the timing and live streaming details of the first PAK vs SA Test.

The first Test of the imminent South Africa’s tour of Pakistan will commence from tomorrow at the National Stadium in Karachi. The two-match Test series will resume Test cricket in Pakistan after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The last time when these two nations had faced each other in Test cricket was in 2019 when South Africa had whitewashed Pakistan 3-0 at home.

As far as South Africa’s last Test in Pakistan is concerned, it had come way back in 2007 when South Africa had registered a 1-0 victory under the then captain and current Director of Cricket (at Cricket South Africa) Graeme Smith.

In the 26 Tests that Pakistan and South Africa have played against each other, South Africa have won 15 as compared to Pakistan’s four victories till date.
