South Africa National Cricket Team completed another good effort in Test cricket. They won the first game of the series against the Pakistan National Cricket Team by a margin of two wickets and qualified for the final of the ICC World Test Championship.
But after that, Pakistan failed to capitalize on the start as South Africa National Cricket Team bowlers were all over the opposition. They reduced the Shan Masood-led side, tottering at 56/4. However, Kamran Ghulam (54) slammed a magnificent half-century to bring his team back into the game.
South Africa National Cricket Team had a similar kind of effort with the bat as they, too, couldn't score big. Aiden Markram seemed the only settled batter in the top and middle order as he played a magnificent innings of 89 runs and kept his team in the hunt.

But Pakistan made a sensational comeback with Mohammad Abbas taking 6 wickets and leaving the hosts at 98/8. But after that, Kagiso Rabada (31*) and Marco Jansen (16*) came up with a stellar effort to help their team book a place in the final of the ICC World Test Championship.
