Pakistan Stops the Proteas' 10-match Winning Streak.
Shaheen Afridi took four wickets in the final innings after failing to take a wicket in the initial innings.
First Test, the Gaddafi Stadium (day four)
The home side 378 (Imam-ul-Haq 93, Salman Agha 93; Muthusamy 6-117) & 167 (Babar Azam 42; Muthusamy 5-57)
The visitors 269 (Tony de Zorzi 104; Noman Ali 6-112) & 183 (Brevis 54; Shaheen 4-33, Noman Ali 4-79)
Pakistan won by 93 runs
The national team halted the reigning champions the Proteas' unbeaten run by achieving a 93-run victory in an thrilling and competitive opening Test in the city of Lahore.
The Proteas, who had a 10-match unbeaten run in Test cricket culminated in a win against the Aussies in the World Test Championship final in the month of June, were bowled out for 183 in pursuit of 277.
Starting the day on 51-2, they saw the dismissal of century-maker De Zorzi lbw to left-arm quick Shaheen Afridi to the third ball of the day to push the tightly balanced run chase in Pakistan's favor.
Left-arm spinner Noman Ali, who took 10 wickets for 191 runs in the match, dismissed Stubbs for 2 and clean bowled Brevis, who offered some resistance with a rapid 54.
Right-arm spinner Sajid Khan also took advantage of sharp turn to end opening batsman Ryan Rickelton's innings - he faced 145 deliveries for 45 runs - and Shaheen came back in the post-lunch session to dismiss the lower order with a impressive exhibition of reverse-swing bowling.
He trapped Kyle Verreynne lbw for nineteen and dismissed Subrayen and Kagiso Rabada to seal the victory.
It was each team's first match of the 2025-27 Test championship cycle and propels the hosts straight into the number two spot after table-toppers Australia.
Their victory was founded on contributions of 93 by opener Imam-ul-Haq and, importantly, all-rounder Salman Agha which lifted them to 378.
From there spinners Noman and Sajid Khan took advantage of helpful home pitches, as they had in their Test series win over England last year, to sustain their lead.
The next and final Test begins on 20 October.
