South Africa
For South Africa, it will be a great opportunity for them to level the two-match Test series at Rawalpindi. With the surface likely to seamer friendly, the visitors will be looking to put in an improved batting performance in this series finale.
In the batting department, the team will be heavily relying on Captain Quinton De Kock to lead from the front and produce much-needed runs in this contest.
He will be accompanied by Faf du Plessis, Dean Elgar and Rassie van der Dussen, who are more than capable of scoring big runs for South Africa.
In the bowling department, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi will take care of the pace attack, whereas it is not certain if the team will go with the fourth seamer in Wiann Mulder or another spinner in Tabraiz Shamsi.
