Pakistan vs South Africa: Hosts can get even better after 'much-needed win,' says Test captain Babar Azam

Firstpost  

He led Pakistan to a 2-0 sweep over the Proteas in Rawalpindi on Monday in a hard-fought 95-run win on the fifth and final day of the second Test. Rawalpindi: Pakistan’s new Test captain Babar Azam said Monday they can get even better after a historic first series win against South Africa since 2003. “It was a much-needed win and the best part of this series win is that now we are number five in Test rankings.” The win lifted Pakistan above South Africa in the International Cricket Council’s Test rankings, jumping two places to fifth, their best standing since January 2017. “When you win it lifts your confidence and I am sure this win against South Africa will give us improvement.” Azam hoped the new-look Pakistan team will continue its progress and secure some wins away from its home patch. We lost in New Zealand and there were so many negative things said, but I am sure that now people will back us.” Pakistan had set South Africa a daunting target of 370 to win.
