South Africa will play a second Twenty20 international against Pakistan to raise funds for the victims of the country's worst floods in history.
The United Nations says more than 17 million people have been affected and about 1.2 million homes destroyed.
The two teams will also play two Tests and five one-dayers in Abu Dhabi and Dubai during October and November.
"This is only a small contribution but we hope it will play some part," said Cricket South Africa's Gerald Majola.
"This has been a dreadful tragedy and our hearts go out to the people of Pakistan.
"Social responsibility plays an important role in the brotherhood of sport that brings nations together from across the world."
Pakistan's players and officials agreed to donate half of their bonuses totalling £35,000 towards the relief effort following their four-wicket win in the third Test against England last week.
