Rawalpindi: During the fifth and final day of the second Test cricket match between Pakistan and South Africa at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on February 8, 2021, Pakistan’s Hasan Ali (3L) celebrates with teammates after taking the wicket of South Africa’s Faf du Plessis (R). -AFP
If they are able to follow the intimidating 370-run target set by Pakistan to win the second test at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, South Africa will rewrite historical books.
It is important to note that in ten tests in Rawalpindi, no team has chased more than the 220 scored by Sri Lanka in 2000 and that South Africa has not chased 250-plus since 2014.
The Proteas can rely on the fact that two 300 plus goals have been chased in the last 20 days with India reassessing 324 against Australia in Brisbane on 18 January and West Indies scoring 395 against Bangladesh in Chattogram on Sunday—both on the last day.
