South Africa and Pakistan will face each other in the first match of the much-awaited three-match ODI series on December 17, 2024, at Boland Park in Paarl. This series follows South Africa's dominant 2-0 win in the T20I series, as the final match in Johannesburg was abandoned due to persistent rain.

Pakistan enters the ODI series with the weight of a two-nil defeat in the T20I series. The team has faced considerable criticism for its performance in the shorter format. Now, in the 50-over format, Pakistan will aim to restore pride and take on the Proteas in their own backyard.

In the ODI series, South Africa will be eager to continue its winning form and Pakistan will look  to rejuvenate its fortunes. It is important to mention that, the first match of the series is a day-night affair.
