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

This is Pakistan's only second Test series win over South Africa in 12 attempts, having lost eight and drawn three. Pakistan last beat South Africa 1-0 in a two-match series at home in 2003.

Pakistan won the first Test by seven wickets in Karachi.

The series against South Africa -- who were touring Pakistan for the first time in 14 years -- is the biggest hosted by the home side since a deadly 2009 militant attack on Sri Lanka's squad in Lahore halted international tours.

The series win also lifts Pakistan to fifth in international Test rankings -- the first time they have placed in the top five since January 2017. South Africa are pushed to sixth from fifth.

The two teams will now play three Twenty20 internationals on February 11, 13 and 14, all in Lahore.
