Facing the deadly duo of Allan Donald and Shaun Pollock, Azhar counter-attacked with fearless strokeplay: crisp cuts, classy drives, and bold hooks — even smashing Donald back over his head! His innings included 96 runs in boundaries and complete command while farming the strike with the tail. At just 22 years old, Azhar showed maturity beyond his years — scoring his third Test hundred against South Africa in only six innings and proving once again why he was Pakistan’s ultimate lower-order savior of the late 90s. 📍 Match: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, Johannesburg (1998) 🏟️ Venue: New Wanderers Stadium 🏏 Score: Pakistan 259 (Azhar Mahmood 132) 🔥 Bowling Attack: Allan Donald, Shaun Pollock, Lance Klusener 🎖️ Highlight Moment: 80-run stand with Shoaib Akhtar (who scored just 6!) 🕒 Key Moments / Timestamps (Optional) 00:00 – Donald and Pollock destroy Pakistan’s top order (89/5) 02:10 – Azhar Mahmood begins counterattack with fearless cuts & drives 04:35 – Azhar vs Allan Donald: Pulls, drives, and hooks in style 06:20 – Protecting the tail: Strike-farming masterclass with Shoaib Akhtar 08:50 – Azhar reaches a stunning hundred at No.7 10:00 – Pakistan fight back to 259 thanks to Azhar’s heroics #pakvssa #cricketmax #highlights #azharmahmood
