The red-ball format will take centre stage in international cricket. South Africa will be touring Pakistan for a 2-match Test Series and a 3-match ODI and T20i series. The tour will begin with the red-ball match, and the PAK vs SA 1st Test match is scheduled to begin on Sunday at the Gaddafi Stadium.
South Africa is the defending champion of the World Test Championship, and it is a new beginning for the Proteas squad. They are coming to play the Test match against Pakistan after playing the T20i format against England. A new beginning will also mark the beginning of a new chapter and some positive cricket betting tips for the players.
Pakistan is going through a tough time in international cricket. They are struggling to find the right combination for the team, and after the final defeat in the Asia Cup 2025, Pakistan will be hoping for a strong start in the new Test season.
In this article, we bring you a collection of special bets for the PAK vs SA 1st Test Match from the Indian betting sites.
Player Props
Babar Azam Total Runs Over 27.5 in 1st Innings @ 1.85 (Jackbit)
With the beginning of the new WTC cycle, all eyes will be on Pakistan’s star batsman, Babar Azam. He is one of the most talented batsmen in the world, but in recent times, Babar Azam has failed to make an impact for the team. In the last 3 Test fixtures, Babar Azam has scored 184 runs at an average of 30.66 and a strike rate of 51.97. Against South Africa, Babar Azam has been part of 7 fixtures, and he has managed to score 536 runs at an average of 38.28 and a strike rate of 63.88.
We expect Babar Azam to score above 27.5 runs in the match.
