The Pakistani cricket team are touring South Africa from 1 February to 24 March 2013. The tour will consist of two Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), three Test matches and five One Day Internationals (ODIs). 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 will host New Zealand and Pakistan.

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.
