Sun Jan 05 22:30:17 IST 2025: ## Masood’s Century Leads Pakistan to Victory Against South Africa
**Johannesburg, [Date]** – Shan Masood smashed a magnificent century, scoring 102 runs off 166 balls, leading Pakistan to victory over South Africa in a thrilling match. His innings was punctuated by several powerful boundaries, including a crucial four that pushed him into the 90s. Babar Azam also contributed significantly, reaching 81 runs before the end of the innings.
While South Africa managed to take one early wicket, Pakistan’s batting dominance proved too much to overcome. Despite some tight bowling spells from Marco Jansen (1/56) and Kagiso Rabada (0/56), the South African bowlers were unable to contain the Pakistani batsmen effectively. The South African bowling attack saw contributions from Keshav Maharaj, Kwena Maphaka and Wiaan Mulder, but ultimately lacked the breakthrough needed. The match ended with a decisive win for Pakistan. The final score and details of the South African innings are not provided in the source text.
