Pakistan are 1-0 up in the two-match Test series, following their seven-wicket win in Karachi. However, Babar Azam is wary of South Africa’s strengths and said the job is only half done as the hosts are keen to win the series 2-0.
Babar Azam, who missed out on scoring big in the first Test as he was dismissed for 7 and 30 in the two innings, is eager to fare better against the Proteas in Rawalpindi.
Following their win in Karachi, Pakistan leapfrogged South Africa into the fifth spot of the ICC World Test Championship standings. However, they are not in contention for a place in the final.
