Following their defeat in the three-match T20I series against South Africa, the Pakistan team, under the leadership of Mohammad Rizwan, aims to regain their winning form in the upcoming three-match ODI series, commencing on Tuesday, December 17. This ODI series presents both Pakistan and South Africa with a valuable opportunity to fine-tune their line-ups in preparation for the forthcoming Champions Trophy.

The Pakistan squad has been strengthened by the return of fast bowler Naseem Shah, opening batsman Abdullah Shafique, and top-order batsman Kamran Ghulam.

Conversely, South Africa's regular captain Temba Bavuma will not participate in the first ODI as he is managing his workload. Aiden Markram will take over the captaincy in his absence.

In their most recent bilateral encounter in the 50-over format, Pakistan emerged victorious, winning the three-match series 2-1 in South Africa in April 2021.
