PAK vs SA Live Streaming, 3rd ODI Tri-Series: The Pakistan Tri-Series 2025 has reached its decisive stage, with Pakistan and South Africa battling for a place in the final against New Zealand.
The 3rd ODI, set to take place at the National Stadium in Karachi on February 12, is a virtual semi-final, with the winner earning a chance to challenge the Blackcaps for the trophy on February 14.

Pakistan will be desperate to bounce back after their 78-run defeat to New Zealand, while South Africa also suffered a 6-wicket loss to the same opponents. Both teams will be eager to improve their performances and secure a much-needed win in Karachi.
The weather in Karachi will be sunny and clear, with temperatures hovering around 31°C. There are zero chances of rain, ensuring an uninterrupted match. Winds from the south at 11 km/hr, with gusts up to 32 km/hr, may aid swing bowlers early on.
The National Stadium pitch is known for its balanced nature, offering something for both batters and bowlers. Pacers get assistance early, while spinners become more effective in the second innings. The average first-innings score is 237, but anything above 280 could be competitive. With teams winning 37 times while chasing, the toss-winning captain may prefer to field first.
Pakistan suffered a disappointing 78-run defeat against New Zealand in their opening match, failing to chase 331 despite a blistering 84 off 69 balls from Fakhar Zaman. The middle order collapsed under spin pressure, while the bowling unit, led by Shaheen Afridi (3/88), faltered in the death overs. With Haris Rauf injured, the Men in Green must tighten their bowling attack and improve their middle-order stability to keep their final hopes alive.
South Africa, too, needs a turnaround after a 6-wicket loss to New Zealand. Debutant Matthew Breetzke’s stunning 150 was the only highlight in an otherwise underwhelming performance. While Wiaan Mulder showed form with the bat, the bowling attack struggled to defend 304/6. With Temba Bavuma and Mulder expected to anchor the innings, the Proteas need their bowlers—Eathan Bosch and Junior Dala—to step up and challenge Pakistan in their own backyard.
