South Africa sweeps Pakistan 2-0 in Test Series

South Africa secured a resounding 10-wicket victory over Pakistan in the second Test at Newlands on Monday, completing a 2-0 series sweep.

Pakistan, forced to follow on after a dismal first innings performance, put up a spirited fight but ultimately fell short of their target.

Captain Shan Masood scored a determined century, but the South African bowlers, led by Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj, eventually wore down the resistance.

David Bedingham and Aiden Markram then swiftly chased down the remaining runs, sealing a comprehensive victory for the hosts.

This seventh consecutive Test win for South Africa solidifies their position as a dominant force in Test cricket and secures their place in the World Test Championship final.

Ryan Rickelton, who scored a magnificent 259 in the first innings, was named Player of the Match, although he was unable to participate in the final day due to injury.

The series victory marks a significant achievement for the South African team and highlights their growing strength in Test cricket.
