Pakistan Stuns South Africa with Record-Breaking Partnership
Pakistan cricket team's opening batsmen, Shan Masood and Babar Azam, rewrote the record books by forming the highest opening partnership in Test history of 205 runs against South Africa in Cape Town. This incredible feat helped Pakistan make a remarkable fightback and narrow the gap against a formidable South African team.
The record-breaking partnership shattered the previous record, eclipsing the previous high of 204 runs. Masood scored his sixth Test century, while Babar contributed 81 runs, including 10 boundaries. Their exceptional display of determination and composure left the South African team helpless, as they struggled to take advantage of the easing pitch. This incredible partnership did not only rewrite the record books but also gave Pakistan a crucial lifeline, boosting their chances to level the series.
The match situation looked bleak for Pakistan after they were bowled out for 194 in their first innings and were forced to follow on. However, the visitors, led by Shan Masood, began to defy their hosts, overcoming the follow-on and defying the challenging conditions. Their 398/5 position at tea on the fourth day represents the highest-ever follow-on score by a visiting team in South Africa, as they struggled to dominate the Pakistani batsmen.
This incredible show of resilience and skill from Pakistan's batsmen is a remarkable response to South Africa's dominating first-innings score of 615, which was highlighted by centuries from Aiden Markram (259), Temba Bavuma (106), and Anrich Nortje. As the wickets continued to fall, Pakistan's batting line-up drew strength from the determination of their key players, particularly Shan Masood and Babar Azam.
Cricket fans and pundits alike are breathing easy, feeling intently the joy and surprises.
