Rabada, Maharaj Excel As South Africa Thrash Pakistan To Sweep Series 2-0
World Test Championship: South Africa got a big boost a few days after sealing a spot in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 with a comprehensive 10-wicket victory over Pakistan to make a 2-0 sweep of the two-match series which guaranteed them the top position in the WTC standings.
After posting a massive 615 in their first innings on the back of a brilliant double hundred by Ryan Rickelton (259) and hundreds by Temba Bavuma (106) and Kyle Verreynne (100), the hosts rode on brilliant bowling by Kagiso Rabada (3-55), and Kwena Maphaka (2-43) to bundle out Pakistan for 194 in their first innings.
The visitors, made to follow-on, put up a strong fight in the second innings despite the absence of young batting sensation Siam Ayub, who got injured on the opening day of the match and did not bat, with skipper Shan Masood and his predecessor Babar Azam (81) posting 205 for the opening wicket.
