Dream11 fantasy cricket tips and guide for the 1st test of the Pakistan tour of South Africa 2024, to be played between SA vs PAK in Centurion.

Pakistan will look to take that confidence into the two-test match series. Shan Masood will be taking charge for the visitors. The first test between Pakistan and South Africa will be the Boxing Day Test.
It will begin on December 26 at 1:30 PM IST at the SuperSport Park, Centurion. Pakistan won their last test series against England at home while South Africa have won their last three test series.
