South Africa secured a seventh consecutive Test win after beating Pakistan by 10 wickets on day four of the second Test at Newlands, Cape Town on Monday (January 6, 2025) and swept the series 2-0. Pakistan, who were forced to follow on after 194 in the first innings, fought hard to avert an innings defeat with only 10 batters after Saim Ayub was injured on the first day. They were bowled out for 478 in the last session, leaving South Africa only 58 runs to win. David Bedingham and Aiden Markram knocked off the runs in just 7.1 overs to wrap up the series after their narrow two-wicket win at Centurion, also inside four days.
