Saeed Anwar Masterclass Century In Patience | Pakistan’s First Century Opening Stand vs South Africa

Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @cricketmax87   In the 1998 Johannesburg Test, Saeed Anwar and Aamir Sohail scripted history by building Pakistan’s first-ever century opening stand against South Africa in 45 Tests since their international return. It was a masterclass in composure and timing as Saeed Anwar batted for over five hours, bringing up his fifth Test century and surpassing 2,000 career Test runs. Anwar’s elegant drives, flicks through midwicket, and serene temperament kept South Africa’s world-class attack — featuring Allan Donald, Shaun Pollock, and Lance Klusener — at bay. But after the milestone stand, Pakistan’s innings collapsed dramatically, losing nine wickets for just 67 runs, undoing all the early hard work. 📍 Match: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, Johannesburg (1998) 🏏 Highlight: Saeed Anwar 100+ (5th Test century), Aamir Sohail 50+ 🔥 Bowling Attack: Donald, Pollock, Klusener 📉 Turning Point: Pakistan lose 9 wickets for 67 after record start 🕒 Key Moments / Timestamps (Optional) 00:00 – Anwar & Sohail’s confident start vs Donald & Pollock 02:20 – Elegant cover drives and flicks from Saeed Anwar 04:50 – Pakistan bring up their first 100-run stand vs South Africa 06:10 – Saeed Anwar completes a superb hundred 07:30 – Pakistan’s stunning collapse: 9 wickets fall for 67 runs 09:00 – South Africa fight back as Pakistan squander strong position #cricketmax #highlights #saeedanwar #pakvssa
