| 3.3 : 3.3: J Khan to de Kock, FOUR! LUCKY EDGE! Length ball outside off, de Kock slashes at it and gets an outside edge past the second slip for a boundary. Pakistan are bowling some tight lines here. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: M Amir to H Amla, FOUR! NICE SHOT! Amir bowls it short on the stumps. Amla shuffles across and pulls it over square leg for a boundary. Ends the over with a boundary. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: J Khan to H Amla, FOUR! WHAT TIMING! Length ball on the pads, Amla just flicks it through square leg and the ball races away to the fence. Amla is looking good here. |
| 8.2 : 8.2: I Wasim to H Amla, OUT! PLUMB! What a wicket for Pakistan. The man in form Amla departs. Imad angles it in with the arm on around off, Amla goes on the back foot and tries to work it on the leg side but misses and is struck on the pads. They all go up and the umpire gives it out. Doesn't take the review as it looked plumb. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: M Hafeez to de Kock, FOUR! That would release the pressure. Hafeez tosses it up, de Kock comes down the track and lofts it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: M Hafeez to de Kock, OUT! They get their second. So not taking the review does not cost them a lot. Hafeez is the man who gets him out. Hafeez bowls it a little quicker on the stumps. DE Kock goes down on one knee and goes for the sweep but misses it and strikes his pad. They all appeal and the umpire gives him out. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: I Wasim to de Villiers, OUT! BIG WICKET! AB de Villiers is heading back to the hut. What a wicket for Pakistan. Imad, you beauty. Tosses it outside off, de Villiers goes for the expansive drive, gets an outside edge straight into the hands Hafeez at point. What a wicket for Pakistan, this is AB's first ever golden duck against Pakistan. South Africa are in big trouble here. |
| 21.5 : 21.5: M Hafeez to du Plessis, FOUR! GOOD SHOT! Hafeez bowls it on the stumps, Faf goes down on one knee and paddles it through the vacant fine leg area. Ahmed Shehzad (sub) runs to his right and dives but cannot stop the boundary. These two are ticking along well. |
| 22.2 : 22.2: H Ali to du Plessis, OUT! The bowling change works. Hasan Ali strikes. There goes Faf. Hasan Ali bowls it on a length outside off, Faf looks to force it through the off side but gets an inside edge onto the stumps. Fourth wicket for Pakistan and its the in form Faf de Plessis. |
| 25.3 : 25.3: M Hafeez to D Miller, SIX! Stupendous shot! Fuller on off and middle, Miller comes down the wicket and just dumps it over long off for a maximum. This is a superb strike. |
| 27.6 : 27.6: M Hafeez to D Miller, SIX! Tonked! Hafeez gives it a bit of air, Miller slinks down the wicket and clobbers it over long on for a maximum. There was a fielder in the deep but it went way over him. Hafeez ends with figures of 10-0-51-1! Decent workout for him. |
| 28.5 : 28.5: H Ali to JP Duminy, OUT! Duminy falls! Goes round the wicket, bowls it full outside off, Duminy goes for the drive but can only get an outside edge. This time the ball flies to the right of Babar Azam at first slip. He takes the catch and that is a big wicket for Pakistan. Hasan Ali has his second. You don't often see JP grind his team out of trouble and that has happened again. South Africa in a huge spot of bother now. |
| 28.6 : 28.6: H Ali to W Parnell, OUT! GONE FIRST BALL! Hasan Ali angles it on the stumps, on a length, Parnell looks to defend but plays down the wrong line. The ball just moves away at the last moment and clatters into the stumps. Another golden duck for a South African and Pakistan are right on top. Hasan Ali will be on a hat-trick when he bowls his next over. |
| 38.2 : 38.2: S Khan to C Morris, FOUR! In the gap! Fires it around off, Morris sits low and just sweeps it hard in front of square on the leg side for a boundary. That was hit hard. 150 up for SA. Boundary after a long time. |
| 42.3 : 42.3: J Khan to C Morris, OUT! Junaid Khan gets his man at last! Bowls a cutter on middle, Morris looks to go big but gets a top edge down to long on. Hasan Ali makes no mistake and the 47-run stand is broken. A vital wicket for Pakistan. |
| 47.2 : 47.2: M Amir to K Rabada, FOUR! Finally a boundary, first one after the 39th over. Short and angling on the body, Rabada gets under it and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. Interesting that Amir went for the shorter one despite getting the yorkers in regularly. |
| 48.1 : 48.1: J Khan to D Miller, SIX! It's Killer Miller Time! Full and outside off, Miller has now had enough, he gets under this one and clobbers it over long off for a maximum. Junaid did not miss his yorker by much there. 200 up for SA, enough for them? |
| 48.5 : 48.5: J Khan to K Rabada, FOUR! Edged! Good length around off, Rabada goes for the pull but gets a top edge over the head of the keeper for a boundary. |
| 48.6 : 48.6: J Khan to K Rabada, OUT! What a catch, Hasan Ali! Fuller and on the stumps, Rabada looks to go over covers but fails to connect well. Hasan Ali goes after it from long off and gets under it to take a superb catch. That was really well taken. Rabada has to go back to the hut after a good cameo. Replays show Miller ensured that he was on strike as they did not cross. |
| 49.6: H Ali to D Miller, FOUR! No he cannot! Short and around off, Miller stays in his crease and slaps it through extra cover for a boundary. That is a good end to the innings by Miller. SOUTH AFRICA FINISH WITH 219/8! |
| 1.2 : 1.2: W Parnell to F Zaman, FOUR! CARVED AWAY! Short and wide outside off, Zaman cuts it over point for a boundary. First runs in ODI cricket for Zaman. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: K Rabada to F Zaman, FOUR! LOVELY TIMING! Full ball on off, Zaman leans into the drive and drives it past mid off for a boundary. De Villiers from mid off, looks to chase it down but he wasn't at his fastest there. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: W Parnell to F Zaman, FOUR! Smashed! Short and wide by Parnell, Zaman rocks back and cuts it through point. He is off to a good start here. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: W Parnell to F Zaman, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries. Short and wide outside off, Zaman cuts it through cover-point for another boundary. Who would say this guy is on debut? Looks very confident. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: K Rabada to F Zaman, FOUR! What intent! Rabada bowls it around on the stumps, Zaman gets under it and just goes through with his loft. The ball bounces into the ropes. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: K Rabada to F Zaman, FOUR! In the gap! Fuller and just outside off, Zaman brings his bat down and gets it through point for a boundary. He has begun really well. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: K Rabada to A Ali, FOUR! Short ball on middle, Ali pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. He does not look comfortable with the short stuff but played this one well. |
| 7.2: M Morkel to F Zaman, OUT! Morne Morkel strikes! Zaman's entertaining innings comes to an end. Bowls a cutter on off stump, Zaman moves his front leg out off the way and pokes at the ball. He gets an outside edge and is taken at first slip by Amla. South Africa get the wicket they wanted. Morkel is all pumped up. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: M Morkel to A Ali, OUT! Azhar Ali throws it away! Short and outside off, Azhar Ali looks to ramp it over third man but there is a man in the deep. Imran Tahir covers good ground to his left and pouches a good low catch. Tahir rolls over and then gets up to celebrate the wicket. That is a big wicket for South Africa, Pakistan have lost two wickets in an over. South Africa are right back in this. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: C Morris to M Hafeez, FOUR! That would relive the pressure. Length ball outside off, Hafeez tries to force it through the off side but gets an outside edge through the vacant second slip area for a boundary. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: C Morris to B Azam, FOUR! Punished! Shorter in length on the stumps, Babar Azam gets inside the line and helps it along its way to the fine leg fence. They have gone past the par score at the end of 20 overs for a result. |
| 21.3 : 21.3: I Tahir to M Hafeez, SIX! Over the ropes! Floats it on the stumps, Hafeez comes down a touch and gets under it to launch it over the head of the bowler for a maximum. |
| 22.5 : 22.5: W Parnell to B Azam, FOUR! Crashed! Short and wide outside off, Azam cuts it hard and gets it past point for a boundary. Pakistan are running away with the game here. This is a superb partnership for them. |
| 23.2 : 23.2: M Morkel to M Hafeez, OUT! What have you done, Hafeez? Shorter in length, Hafeez goes for the pull but gets a top edge. The ball flies down to Imran Tahir at fine leg. He comes in and takes a good catch. He gets up and celebrates it like only he can. The ploy works for South Africa. Hafeez has once again thrown away a start. Morne Morkel strikes and AB de Villiers is delighted. Pakistan need 127 more runs to win. |
| 24.2: K Rabada to S Malik, FOUR! Thumped! Short and wide from Rabada, Malik gets on top of it and dispatches it over point for a boundary. That was hit with a lot of disdain. |
| 24.3 : 24.3: K Rabada to S Malik, FOUR! Good length outside off, dabbed down to third man by Malik. Tahir looks to stop it going to his left. He slides and looks to stop the ball. He was touching the ropes as he aimed to flick the ball back in play. He gets up and signals a boundary. Fair play to him. 100 up for Pakistan! |
| 25.3: M Morkel to S Malik, FOUR! Just over the fielder! Shorter outside off, Malik goes for the cut shot and gets it over the man at point for a boundary. He is on 14 in 12 balls. |
| 25.5 : 25.5: M Morkel to B Azam, FOUR! Crashed! Short and wide from Morkel, Azam gets under it and carves it over backward point for a boundary. This is brilliant hitting. |
| 26.6 : 26.6: K Rabada to B Azam, FOUR! Top timing! Angles it on a fuller length on the stumps, Azam brings his bat down in time and gets it through Parnell at mid on for a boundary. They are doing it easily at the moment. |
