The Pakistani cricket team toured South Africa from 1 February to 24 March 2013. The tour consisted of two Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), three Test matches and five One Day Internationals (ODIs).[1] South Africa announced their summer schedule of January–March in which they replaced their traditional Boxing Day Test with a T20I for the 2012–13 home season, during which they hosted New Zealand and Pakistan.[2]
During the third ODI, Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers set a new world record for the third-wicket, with a partnership of 238 runs. This beat the previous record of 237 set by Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar against Kenya in 1999.[3]
South Africa won the ODI series 3-2.
