Captain Shan Masood led Pakistan's fightback, scoring 145. Following the result, Masood said he believes there are better days ahead for Pakistan as they held their own for long periods in challenging conditions. He emphasized that there are positives to take away from the series, stating, "We did really well but didn't close it out. Individually, people stepped up during the tougher period, and we made our highest score against South Africa in Test cricket."
Despite being 421 runs behind, Pakistan managed to bat to 478 all out in their second innings. This showcased their determination, particularly with contributions from Rizwan and Agha, who added vital runs under pressure. Masood highlighted the need to improve overall performance, mentioning that they had initial struggles with both bat and ball but displayed commendable fighting spirit with significant partnerships despite losing key players.
