Scheduling
Match Times in Pakistan: The Simple Conversion
Pak vs SA games are played in two time zones. This rule converts any South African start time to Pakistani time in seconds.
The +3 rule
Pakistan (PKT, UTC+5) is exactly 3 hours ahead of South Africa (SAST, UTC+2), which does not observe daylight saving. Add 3 hours to any South African local start time: a 1:00 pm Test start in Johannesburg is 4:00 pm in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad.
Typical start times
Tests in South Africa usually begin at 10:00 am SAST (1:00 pm PKT); day/night ODIs often at 2:00 pm SAST (5:00 pm PKT). In Pakistan, ODIs commonly start at 3:00 pm PKT and T20Is in the evening around 6:30–7:00 pm PKT — always confirm with the official series schedule.
