Kwena Maphaka Debuts with Key Wicket

Kwena Maphaka, South Africa's youngest Test debutant at 18, claimed his maiden Test wicket by dismissing Pakistan's Babar Azam on Day 3 of the ongoing Test. South Africa set a commanding total of 615, propelled by Ryan Rickelton's double century and Kyle Verreynne's aggressive 100. Pakistan struggled at 64-3 by the end of Day 2, with a significant deficit worsened by Saim Ayub's injury. The Newlands pitch, previously criticized for seam movement, saw strategic changes, including Maphaka's debut. The match has attracted sellout crowds as South Africa aims to maintain momentum after their first Test victory against Pakistan.
