Pakistan's win in their first Test against South Africa was necessary for the team after a difficult overseas season, captain Babar Azam said.

Pakistan beat South Africa by seven wickets in their first Test in Karachi in a two-Test series that comes after they were swept aside by New Zealand.

Pakistan lost their first Test in New Zealand by 101 runs before falling to an innings defeat in the second.

"This win was very necessary for our group. The last series in New Zealand didn't go very well. Yes, this was in home conditions but South Africa is a top Test side. Everyone from our fast bowlers, fielders, spinners and batsmen contributed," Babar said after their win against South Africa.
