The Proteas, eyeing a spot in the ICC World Test Championship Final, need just one win from the series to secure their berth. Meanwhile, Pakistan, buoyed by their recent 3-0 ODI series triumph, will look to carry the momentum into the red-ball format.
South Africa boasts a formidable Test record at home and will rely on their pace attack to exploit the Centurion conditions. Pakistan, however, is no stranger to upsets, and with a balanced squad, they aim to rewrite history in South Africa, where victories have been elusive.
