The Pakistani team Stops South Africa's 10-Test Unbeaten Run.
Shaheen Afridi took four wickets in the final innings after going wicketless in the first session.
First Test, Lahore (the fourth day)
The home side 378 (Imam 93, Salman Agha 93; Senuran Muthusamy 6-117) & 167 (Babar 42; Muthusamy 5-57)
The visitors 269 (Tony de Zorzi 104; Noman 6-112) & 183 (Dewald Brevis 54; Shaheen Afridi 4-33, Noman 4-79)
The hosts secured a 93-run victory
The national team terminated the reigning champions the Proteas' unbeaten run by achieving a 93-run win in an entertaining and closely contested first Test in Lahore.
The Proteas, whose 10-Test unbeaten run in the longest format ended with victory over Australia in the WTC final in June, were bowled out for 183 in pursuit of 277.
Starting the day on 51 for two, they lost first-innings centurion De Zorzi leg before wicket to left-arm quick Shaheen Afridi to the third ball of the day to push the finely-poised run chase in the home team's favor.
Left-arm spinner Noman, who took 10 wickets for 191 runs in the match, removed Tristan Stubbs for 2 and clean bowled Dewald Brevis, who put up a fight with a run-a-ball 54.
Off-spinner Sajid Khan also took advantage of significant spin to end opener Ryan Rickelton's stay - he faced 145 deliveries for 45 - and Afridi came back in the afternoon session to dismiss the tail with a fine display of reverse swing.
He had Verreynne lbw for 19 and bowled Subrayen and Kagiso Rabada to seal the win.
It was both sides' first match of the 2025-27 Test championship cycle and moves the hosts straight into second place after table-toppers Australia.
The win was founded on contributions of 93 by opener Imam-ul-Haq and, importantly, all-rounder Salman Agha which boosted them to 378.
From there slow bowlers Noman and Sajid Khan took advantage of helpful home pitches, as they had in their series victory over England last year, to sustain their advantage.
The next and last match starts on 20 October.
