PAK vs SA Weather Report, Pitch Report Of Faisalabad- 3rd ODI, South Africa Tour of Pakistan 2025:
PAK vs SA Weather Report of Faisalabad:

PAK vs SA Pitch Report of Iqbal Stadium:
The Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad, which is hosting an international series after 17 years, is expected to offer a sporting wicket for the third and final game of the three-match ODI series between Pakistan and South Africa.
A sporting wicket means that it will have something in it for both batters and bowlers, given that they are willing to apply themselves.
The bowlers can make use of the help that will be available in the wicket throughout the match, be it spinners or fast bowlers.
The pacers can get the ball to nip after pitching when it is new in the first ten overs and pick at least a couple of wickets in that particular phase of the innings.
As far as the spinners are concerned, they can also extract some turn from the pitch, as it will be assisting the slow bowlers, which is evident from the fact that shot-making wasn't easy when the ball got soft in the opening game.
The above-mentioned information conveys the fact that the batters will have to make the most of the conditions when the ball is new and attack the bowlers after getting used to the pace and bounce of the surface.
The bowlers will have to pick and choose the right kind of bowl and the right kind of bowlers to attack, as it might not be a wise decision to go after the spinners in the middle overs with the pitch getting slow.
Better sense would prevail if a batter sees off the spinners and takes a fresh guard to put the pressure on the fast bowlers at the backend of the innings.
However, one major factor that might negate the threat of spin is the amount of dew that comes in during the second innings of the game, which was the case in the previous game that Pakistan lost while defending the score of 269 runs.
If the conditions remain dry, then the contest between bat and ball would be even, and if the scenario is the opposite of it, then the chasing team will back themself to get the job done.
The team that bats first in the PAK vs SA 3rd ODI should aim to post at least 270-280 runs on the board to stay in the game.
Conclusion
Pakistan would want to make good use of the home conditions, especially with the ball, by restricting the opposition to a below-par total and backing their batters to chase it down.
South Africa, on the other hand, would want to showcase what they are capable of with both bat and ball despite being short on experience and end their tour of Pakistan on a positive note, i.e., by registering a win.
