Pakistan have recorded a comprehensive 7-wicket victory over South Africa💙 in the first Test of the two-match series at t🐽he National Stadium in Karachi.

Chasing 88 runs on Day 4 was like a cakewalk for the home side and precisely that happened as well. The Babar Azam-led team completed the target in 22.5 overs with eight wickets in hand. Azhar Ali and Fawad Alam remained unbeaten at the scores of 31 and 4 respectively. Skipper Azam scored 30 off 44 before Keshav Maharaj trapped him lbw.

Earlier, on the fourth day, the visitors resumed at their overnight score of 187/4. But, on the very first delivery, Hasan Ali provided the breakthrough by cleaning up Maharaj (2). Five runs later, Yasir Shah removed Proteas skipper Quinton de Kock (2) to reduce the tourists on 192/6.

Temba Bavuma (40) and George Linde (11) did show some fight and went on to add 42 runs for the seventh wicket bef🍒ore Nauman Ali broke the partnership and dismissed Linde in the 93rd over.

Nauman then ran through South Africa’s tail in their second innings as the visiting side were bundled out for 245. The left-arm spinner picked his first five-wicket haul in the red-ball format. Apart from Nauman, Yasir Shah claimed four wickets in the second essay.

Pakistan were superior in terms of spinners, Nauman and Yasir get 14 wickets… South African spinners got four , all by Maharaj

Dream debut for 34-year-old Nauman Ali – 2 wickets in first innings and 5 wickets in second innings – he waited for many many years to get the cap and what a start to his career.

Fitting for Fawad Alam to hit the winning runs.
An impressive win by fighting back after nearly relinquishing the initiative.
SA twice gave away good positions.
