Notably, after the end of the first innings, South Africa enforced a follow-on as Pakistan trailed by 421 runs. It was assumed that South Africa would win by an inning, but Shan Masood and his Co. changed the course of the match.

The skipper himself scored a century, while Babar Azam too stitched a fifty-plus score. Pakistan were cruising well but dealt a few heavy blows, but Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha put the chase back on track.
