Hasan Ali’s comeback in the first Test was underwhelming but he rose to the occasion in the second Test and blew the South African batting unit away with a brilliant display. He picked up five wickets out of which he bowled four batsmen.
Afridi believes that Pakistan is in a pole position to win the Test match and whitewash the Proteas by putting in brilliant displays over the four days.
Hasan Ali struck early on in the day by dismissing Rassie van der Dussen and Faf du Plessis cheaply but Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma have shifted the momentum towards South Africa before lunch on the final day.
