In a commanding display of spin bowling, Pakistan’s Noman Ali tore through South Africa’s batting lineup, taking six wickets and putting Pakistan in a strong position in the opening Test. His disciplined line and sharp turn restricted South Africa from building partnerships, leading to their collapse.
With a 109-run lead, Pakistan now eyes extending their advantage when they return to bat on the third day. Noman’s performance drew praise from fans and former players alike, marking one of his best Test figures to date.
The match remains evenly poised, but momentum has clearly swung in Pakistan’s favor after the left-arm spinner’s memorable spell.
