The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced free entry for cricket fans for the second Pakistan–South Africa Test match, scheduled to begin on October 20 at the Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi.

According to details shared by the PCB on Friday, spectators will be allowed to enter the stadium free of charge, with access granted to all stands. The move aims to encourage greater public participation and support for the national team as they look to secure another win in the ongoing Test series.

Both Pakistan and South Africa are set to conduct practice sessions on Saturday at the Islamabad Club Cricket Ground to finalize preparations for the crucial encounter. The decision to allow free entry has been widely appreciated by cricket fans, who are eager to witness a high-intensity contest between the two sides.

The Test series has already generated significant excitement following Pakistan’s 93-run victory in the first match, marking a strong start under the leadership of Shan Masood. Spinner Noman Ali emerged as the standout performer, once again demonstrating his consistency with the ball and playing a pivotal role in securing Pakistan’s lead.

The teams arrived in Islamabad on Friday ahead of the upcoming match. With momentum on their side, Pakistan will aim to capitalize on their form and secure a series win, while South Africa will look to bounce back and level the contest.

The Rawalpindi Test is expected to draw a large crowd, particularly as free entry has been granted to all stands — a move likely to boost the stadium atmosphere and promote cricket enthusiasm across the region. The PCB’s decision underscores its commitment to making international cricket more accessible to fans and encouraging community engagement through the sport.

As the cricketing excitement builds, fans are expected to turn out in large numbers to cheer for Pakistan and enjoy the live action without any ticket cost.
