Pakistan cricket team beat South africa in karachi test by 7 wickets, it was after 2003 the journey toward series victory also after test match defeat in 2007, the first victory against protease at the same venue. Pakistan bowling played major role to limitize south africa on 220 in first inning where the key men were yasir shah and noman Ali. In Bating akistan top order was failed but Azhar Ali and Fawad alam’s pivital batting shift the match in favor of Host Greens. Azhar Ali in first inning scored 51 runs and in 2nd innings 31 runs while Fawad Alam made a ton on his home ground brouth him not only glorey to his career but also shine Pakistan’s grip on the match. When we look into deap analysis of both the innings, Protease have different mind set at start of 2nd inning with Markaram who scored only 13 in first inning. He was looking commited to do best of his career and he scored solid 74 and Dussen scored 64 to strenghten the total of the team. Bavume who was scored only 17 in first inning added soild 40 runs in total but on the other hand Yasir shah and Noman ali featherd well from both the ends for other batsmen. After SA got out on 245, only 88 runs target was given to Pakistan Cricket team for first historical victory against proteas at National Stadium Karachi. We find some good innings from Pakistan side other than Azhar and Fawad and nobody can forgot 64 of Faheem ashraf and 38 of Yasir shah. Pakistan managed 88 runs with winning short of Fawad alam on the loss of 3 wickets, So in this way history book added new chapter for Greens team test victories.
The interesting factor to note for pakistan team management and coaching staff is the run rate of the players and team as a whole, pakistan batting side scored 378 in 119.2 overs means with the average almost 3 plus runs in an over which need to accelrate atleast 4 runs per over as per modern cricket, otherwise SA who has ability to fight back with better run rate and aggressive approach can easily create difficulties in Rawalpindi test.
