Talking to the reporters virtually after Day 3’s play, Hasan Ali gave his views on what could be a good target for the South African cricket team. None of the two sides have scored more than 300 on this pitch. Pakistan managed 272 runs in the first innings. In reply, South Africa aggregated 201 runs, conceding a 71-run lead.
The visitors took wickets at regular intervals to restrict Pakistan to 129/6 in 51 overs. When asked about the ideal target for South Africa, Hasan Ali replied:
George Linde and Keshav Maharaj have been very successful in the second innings. The South African spinners have scalped five wickets in 30 overs, which shows the pitch has assisted the spin bowlers of late. Pakistan has the likes of Yasir Shah and Nauman Ali in its spin attack.

Hasan Ali has not played much red-ball cricket for Pakistan. He had only one five-wicket haul to his name heading into the series against South Africa.

Reacting to his performance after the day’s play, Hasan said:
