Pakistan secured a grand victory against South Africa in the first Test at the National Stadium in Karachi to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. The win was Pakistan's first against South Africa in seven years. Babar Azam's side is on the cusp of a series win for only the second time against South Africa in their 27-year history. Pakistan would be aiming for a repeat of Karachi in which the batting and bowling both clicked as a unit. However, in Karachi, one saw a veteran and a new bowler impress in grand style.
Fawad Alam enhanced his reputation and helped Pakistan out of trouble with his third century. Pakistan would not have been in a great position had it not been for the brilliance of Fawad Alam. In the second innings, Nauman Ali produced a magnificent bowling performance as South Africa once again failed to cope up against the spinners. South Africa have won only one Test in Asia in the last 12 years and ever since the retirement of some key players, Quinton de Kock's team have struggled to match up to expectations and struggled consistently against all teams barring Australia.
