Proteas Stumble as Spin Dominates in Lahore Test
Spin dominated the opening day of the Lahore Test, with Noman Ali and Sajid Khan running through the visitors’ top order.
Aiden Markram’s gritty 89 was the lone bright spot as the hosts took control, setting up a thrilling WTC encounter.
The opening day of the first Test at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium delivered a gripping contest, with spinners taking center stage and Aiden Markram standing out as the lone hero for his side.
At stumps, the hosts were 41/1 in response to a modest first-innings total of 185, setting the stage for an intense World Test Championship (WTC) encounter.
Winning the toss and opting to bowl first, the home captain unleashed his spin duo early, and the decision paid off immediately, as the top order of the visiting side struggled against sharp turn and clever variations.
Historically, teams unaccustomed to subcontinental spin often falter in such conditions, and this match was no exception.
