Pakistan’s leg-spinner Shadab Khan was ecstatic after pacer Hasan Ali helped Pakistan defeat South Africa in the second Test in Rawalpindi.

Set 370-run to win, the visitors were bowled out for 274 with Pakistan Ali bagging 5/60 — his best match figures of 10/114.

“Allah mehnat ka phal zarur deta hai [The Almighty always rewards hard work]. Congratulations Hasan Ali on your 10 wickets… Electricity is temporary, generator is permanent,” tweeted Shadab.

The 2-0 win is only Pakistan's second over South Africa in 12 Test series, having lost eight and drawn three.

Pakistan won the first Test by seven wickets in Karachi.

Pakistan's only previous series win over South Africa was in a two-match series at home in 2003.
