OUT! Bowled. Faheem Ashraf to Ottniel Baartman. Off cutter short, wide outside off stump on the back foot pulling, hit body. All out! South Africa have been bundled out for just 110, failing to bat out their 20 overs. Every batter struggled against the home side's bowling attack, Salman Ali Mirza with three wickets in the powerplay. Dewald Brevis breifly led a counter attack, as he hit three sixes before falling for 25. The lower order dragged South Africa over the 100 mark, but Faheem Ashraf's four wickets ensured they couldn't build any momentum. Can Pakistan complete a comfortable run chase? We will find out shortly.
