South Africa Performance in ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 Cycle
South Africa is playing their first test series of the ICC World Test Championship 2025-2027 Cycle, and this is a two-match test series. They lost the first test match by runs against Pakistan. However, they still have many test series in the future and can get into the top 2.
But South Africa needs to focus on their batting and pace unit to beat other teams in test cricket. Players like Aiden Markram are needed in the team who can play 50 overs in an inning for the team and make partnerships with other players.
How can Pakistan get into the Top 2?
Pakistan played good cricket; however, this test match was played on their home soil, but still, the bowlers did an exceptional job. The key player, like Babar Azam, is still not in form, which is quite concerning, seeing as there are many test series in the upcoming months.
Pakistan needs to focus on their batting, especially the middle order, then they can be undefeatable in the WTC 2025-2027 Cycle. However, if they win this series 2-0, Pakistan will get into the top 2 with a PCT of 100%.
