South Africa continued their dominant run, securing a convincing 10-wicket victory over Pakistan in the second test at Newlands. This win marks their seventh consecutive test triumph, firmly placing them as a force to be reckoned with in the international cricket scene.
South Africa has won their fourth test series in a row and seventh test on the trot when they beat Pakistan by ten wickets at Newlands in Cape Town on day four of the second test. Pakistan scored 478 in their follow-on innings for a lead of 57 runs but the Proteas needed just eight overs to chase down 58 for the 10-wicket triumph.But seamer Kagiso Rabada (3-115) and spinner Keshav Maharaj (3-137) kept chipping away at the Pakistan wickets, aided by some poor shot selection.
David Bedingham was promoted to open in the South African second innings after double-centurion from their first, Ryan Rickelton, sustained a hamstring strain.“The result is very satisfying, it was good old test cricket. There was something in it for the bowlers with the new ball and then the wicket really flattened out,” South Africa captain Temba Bavuma said. “It was a good experience that will hold us in good stead as a team. Certain parts of the game we let go, but all those learnings will make us better.” South Africa have won their last seven tests in a row, their second best run of victories behind a nine-game winning streak between 2002-2003. It is perfect preparation for their appearance in the World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord’s from June 11-15. Pakistan resumed the fourth day on 213 for one, though they were effectively two down after in-form batter Saim Ayub fractured his ankle while fielding on the first day. Despite the wicket offering little to the bowlers in terms of seam or turn, South Africa picked up two wickets in the morning session, as Khurram Shahzad was caught by Maharaj at point off seamer Marco Jansen for 18. Rabada bowled Kamran Ghulam for 28, a delivery that nipped back off the wicket and crashed into the off-stum
