The PAK vs SA 2025 T20I series is significant with respect to the ICC T20 World Cup that is set to take place in early 2026. Hence, both Pakistan and South Africa would look to use these three PAK vs SA T20Is to work on preparing for the showpiece event next year. The PAK vs SA 2025 T20I series will see the return of Babar Azam in the Pakistan National Cricket Team, with the star batter having not been part of the Green Shirts' last T20I assignment, the Asia Cup 2025. Babar Azam's inclusion does boost Pakistan's batting and it will be interesting to see how he performs. South Africa will also see Quinton de Kock continue his return to international cricket and he will be more than desperate to make a mark for the Donovan Ferreira-led Proteas team. While Pakistan will look to recover from the triple defeat to India at the Asia Cup 2025, South Africa would be keen on returning to winning ways after a shock loss at the hands of Namibia. Mohammad Rizwan Escapes Hit-Wicket Dismissal Despite Hitting Stumps With Bat At End of PAK vs SA 2nd Test 2025 Day 3, Here's What the Law Says (Watch Video).
