Pakistan Vs South Africa Test Day 1


Pakistan dominated Day 1 of the first Test match against South Africa, scoring 211 runs and restricting the hosts to 82/3. This impressive performance gave Pakistan a 129-run lead with seven wickets remaining for South Africa.



South Africa's innings was marked by a slow start, with opener Dean Elgar dismissed early. Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma attempted to stabilize the innings, but Pakistan's bowling attack, led by Muhammad Abbas, kept the pressure on. Abbas dismissed Tristan Stubbs leg before wicket for 9 runs, further denting South Africa's hopes.


Some notable performances from the South African batting lineup include:
  • Aiden Markram: Scored 38 runs, with four boundaries and two runs coming from a no ball.
  • Temba Bavuma: Unbeaten on 20 runs, with two boundaries.
  • Tristan Stubbs: Scored 9 runs before being dismissed by Muhammad Abbas.
Pakistan's bowling attack was impressive, with Muhammad Abbas and Khurram Shahzad taking a wicket each. Naseem Shah also bowled economically, conceding only 1 run in his 5 overs.
The match is being played at Centurion, and Pakistan will look to extend their lead on Day 2
