On the third day of the second Test against South Africa in Cape Town, Pakistan cricket team captain Shan Masood and Babar Azam created new history by batting responsibly.
The Pakistani team was dismissed for 194 runs in the first innings and was forced to follow-on. After the follow-on, Shan Masood and Babar Azam batted brilliantly and provided an opening stand of 205 runs. Their stand of 205 runs not only countered the pressure of the follow-on but also gave the visiting team a glimmer of hope of leveling the series.
Shan’s brilliant century, his sixth in Test cricket, and Babar’s 81 runs, which included 10 fours, were playing a major role in keeping South Africa on the back foot. The determination and determination of the pair on a pitch that is now easy for batting left the hosts helpless.
When the partnership between the two batsmen reached 134 runs on the third day of the second Test in Cape Town, they broke the record of 133 runs set by Yasir Hameed and Younis Khan at Centurion during the 2006-07 season and set a new world record.
