Maharaj's Seven Wickets Propel South Africa Bounce Back vs Pakistan in Rawalpindi Test

The second Test match between South Africa and Pakistan in Rawalpindi has been highlighted by the return of South African spinner Keshav Maharaj, who missed the first Test due to a groin injury. Maharaj's comeback has significantly strengthened South Africa's bowling attack, as he is the country's most successful spin bowler with over 200 Test wickets. Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first on a dry, spin-friendly pitch, aiming to set a challenging score early. Maharaj's performance was pivotal on Day 2, where he took seven wickets, helping bowl Pakistan out for 333. South Africa, after losing early wickets, showed resilience with contributions from Tristan Stubbs and Tony de Zorzi to reach 185/4 at stumps. The match is a crucial part of the World Test Championship, with South Africa looking to level the series after Pakistan's 93-run victory in the first Test.
