In the ongoing first Test between Pakistan and South Africa at the Supersport Park Stadium in Centurion, the visitors, batting first, tumbled for just 211 runs. However, the Pakistani bowlers have also started well, Khurram Shahzad in particular, who arguably bowled the ball of the year.

On the last ball of the 3rd over, Shahzad bowled a good length delivery that nipped back in for the left-hand batter and rattled Tony De Zorzi's middle-stump. It left the fans also awestruck by the quality of the delivery. Watch the impressive delivery:

Khurram Shahzad Gets To Lead Pace Attack In Shaheen Afridi's Absence

De Zorzi returned to the pavilion with a score of 2 (8). At the time of writing this article, South Africa are 20/1 after 6 overs. Talking about Khurram Shahzad, he is featuring in his just third match of the year and he has definitely saved his best for the last. 

In three matches this year, Khurram has taken 10 wickets in four innings. He has added responsibilities on his shoulders for the ongoing match as Pakistan are without Shaheen Afridi, who has been rested because of workload management. 

It is worth noting that Pakistan have already crashed out of the race to qualify for WTC 2025 final as they are placed seventh on the table. Meanwhile, South Africa, who are placed on top of the WTC standings are just a win away from qualifying for WTC 2025 final.
