Hasan Leads Pakistan To First Series Win Over South Africa After 18 Years

Medium pacer Hasan Ali took a maiden ten-wicket haul to help Pakistan win its first series against South Africa since 2003 with a 95-run victory in the second Test on the fifth and final day in Rawalp

But Hasan ripped through the tourists' batting order, which lost seven wickets for just 33 runs with the second new ball. Ali struck with the second over of the new ball to end Markram's resistance by getting the opener caught in the slip and end his 335-minute fight. Markram's fifth Test century -- the first outside South Africa -- included 13 boundaries and three sixes.

Next ball, Hasan had Quinton de Kock caught in the slip for nought, ending South African skipper's miserable series with just 46 runs.

Hasan dismissed George Linde for four to record his third five-wicket haul as he improved upon his previous best match figures of 7-83 against New Zealand in Abu Dhabi in 2018.

In the morning, both teams were involved in a keen battle for victory as South Africa resumed on 127-1, knowing the best chase at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in ten previous Tests was the 200 scored by Sri Lanka in 2000.

South Africa saw Dussen bowled off a beautiful inswinger by Hasan -- only the third ball of the day -- while Du Plessis was leg-before to the same bowler in the fifth over of the morning. It capped a sub-par series for the experienced Du Plessis who managed just 55 in four innings.
