The Pakistan cricket team toured South Africa in April 2021 to play three One Day International (ODI) and four Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2] The ODI series formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[3][4]
Originally, the matches were scheduled to be played in October 2020.[5] However, in August 2020, the tour was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] The following month, it was confirmed that both cricket boards were looking for a window in the international calendar to play the matches.[7] In October 2020, Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced that the tour had been rescheduled for April 2021.[8] In January 2021, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed that the tour was still on their schedule for the 2021 calendar year.[9] In February 2021, the tour dates were confirmed,[10] including the addition of a fourth T20I fixture.[11] On 4 March 2021, CSA announced that Temba Bavuma had been appointed as South Africa's limited overs captain,[12] taking over the role from Quinton de Kock.[13]
Pakistan won the first ODI by three wickets,[14] with South Africa winning the second match by seventeen runs to level the series.[15] Pakistan won the third ODI by 28 runs to win the series 2–1.[16] In the T20I series, Pakistan won the first match by four wickets,[17] with South Africa winning the second match by six wickets.[18] The third match saw Pakistan win by nine wickets, with their captain Babar Azam scoring his first century in the format.[19] Pakistan won the fourth T20I by three wickets to win the series 3–1.[20]
