10 March 1998
Popular fast-bowler Fanie de Villiers played his last cricket match for South Africa in the third Test match against Pakistan at St George's Park, Port Elizabeth. De Villiers ended his Test Cricket career in the best possible way when he bowled Shoaib Akhtar, Pakistan's last man. It was his 85th wicket of an 18 match. South Africa won with 259 runs, and leveled the series with Pakistan 1-1.
