A nail-biting thriller comes to an end. After losing wickets in clusters before the Lunch break, the Proteas won the game with much time left in the match and have confirmed their position in the WTC Finals. Mohammad Abbas picked up a six-wicket haul for Pakistan, and the rest of the bowlers tried their best to defend! But they could not pull it off as there weren't enough runs on the board. Let's see whether the visitors bounce in the second test. Aiden Markram is adjudged the Player of the Match for his brilliant performance.
