South Africa's Stunning Test Comeback: Rabada and Muthusamy's Heroics Shine

South Africa made a remarkable comeback against Pakistan on Day 3 of the second Test, thanks to career-best performances by Kagiso Rabada and Senuran Muthusamy. Despite Asif Afridi's historic debut revelations, South Africa took a 71-run lead. Pakistan struggles to 94-4, with Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan resisting.

South Africa achieved a remarkable turnaround against Pakistan on the third day of the second and final Test, propelled by career-best half-centuries from No. 11 batter Kagiso Rabada and Senuran Muthusamy. Their efforts led to South Africa's dominating position, putting them in a 71-run lead.

Despite the heroic bowling performance by Pakistan's left-arm spinner Asif Afridi, who claimed six wickets and set a record as the oldest bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a debut Test, South Africa managed to fight back fiercely. At stumps, Pakistan's second innings stood precariously at 94-4.

Rabada, with 71 off 61 balls, and Muthusamy, remaining unbeaten with 89, scripted a vital counterattack. Their 98-run last wicket stand was pivotal in muting Pakistan's early advantage. As the Test progresses, South Africa seems well poised to level the two-match series.
