Player Of The Match
  • 19.6

    Ottniel Baartman to Muhammad Abbas Afridi. Slower ball back of a length, wide outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed to short mid wicket for 1 run. That's the end of the first innings. It's a good total on the board for Pakistan. Despite losing their skipper early, the batters rallied and managed to put up a competitive score, with special mention to Saim Ayub, who is unbeaten on 98. Dayyaan Galiem was the pick of the bowlers for South Africa, taking two wickets. Now, the question is whether the Pakistan bowlers have enough runs to defend or if the South African batters will chase this down and seal the series with one match to go.
