1st Test: Noman Ali’s 10-for seals 93-run win for Pakistan over South Africa
Pakistan’s spin duo of Noman Ali and Sajid Khan did the heavy lifting before Shaheen Shah Afridi applied the finishing touches as the hosts wrapped up a 93-run victory over World Test Championship (WTC) winner South Africa.
The win gave Pakistan a 1-0 lead in the two-match series and ended South Africa’s 10-Test winning streak, the longest in their history.
Defending a target of 276, Pakistan maintained their stranglehold on a surface that had grown increasingly treacherous for batting.
The chase — never before achieved at the Gaddafi Stadium — was rendered even more improbable as Pakistan’s spinners exploited the sharply deteriorating pitch.
Author summary: Pakistan wins 1st test by 93 runs.
