South Africa Clinches Test Series Against Pakistan Despite Record Fightback

Pakistan sets a historic follow-on total of 478 in Cape Town, but South Africa secures a 2-0 series win and World Test Championship final spot.

South Africa defeated Pakistan by 10 wickets in the second Test at Cape Town, completing a 2-0 series victory.
Pakistan, led by Shan Masood's 145, scored a record 478 while following on, the highest follow-on total by a visiting team in South Africa's 136-year Test history.
South Africa chased the modest target of 58 in just 7.1 overs, with David Bedingham scoring a quick 44 not out.
The win confirms South Africa's place at the top of the World Test Championship table and sets up a final against Australia at Lord's in June.
Pakistan captain Shan Masood praised his team's fightback but emphasized the need for consistency ahead of their upcoming home series against the West Indies.
