1st Test: Pacers To The Fore As Pak Fight Back At Centurion After Getting Out For 211
ICC World Test Championship: Bowled out for 211 after being asked to bat first, Pakistan came back strongly to reduce South Africa to 82/3 on the first day of the Boxing Day Test to leave the match poised in balance at the SuperSport Park here on Thursday. Pacers held sway as 13 wickets fell on an intriguing day at the end of which both teams could take some heart from their performance.
An interesting contest is brewing in Centurion as South Africa, hoping to confirm their place in next year’s ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final, pushed hard on a wicket that had pace and bounce as they capitalised on some poor shot selection by the Pakistan batters and superb five-wicket haul by Dane Paterson (5-61). After struggling with the bat, Pakistan struck back with the ball running through South Africa's top order in Centurion. At stumps, the Proteas were 129 runs adrift of the Pakistan total with seven wickets in hand. In all 293 runs were scored, even as 13 wickets fell on the day.
A win in this Test will ensure South Africa's participation in the WTC final. They are currently atop the WTC Standings.
