1st Test: Pakistan Claim Three Wickets To Give Late Scare To South Africa

By IANS News December 28, 2024 • 22:58 PM View: 460

ICC World Test Championship: Former captain Babar Azam scored his first half-century since December 2022 while Saud Shakeel struck a superb 84 as Pakistan set South Africa a stiff target and then claimed three early wickets to set the first Test of the series for a thrilling finish at the SuperSport Park here on Saturday.

South Africa had looked the favourites after reducing Pakistan to 88/3 at stumps on the previous day. But the visitors closed the rain-curtailed third day of the match on a dramatic note by reducing the hosts to 27/3 when bad light stopped play.
