"Credit must be given to David Miller for playing an outstanding innings and making the match interesting," Pakistan captain Babar Azam said. "We told the players to play fearless cricket and that's why we finished on the right side," the Pakistan captain, who top-scored for his side with 44 off 30 balls added.
Pakistan beat South Africa 2-0 in the Test series as well before completing the double by handing the Proteas its first defeat in a T20 series in Asia.
Proteas captain Heinrich Klaasen said, "We started with some cowboy cricket and I take full responsibility for that collapse. We are looking for a specific way to play -- we just have to keep fighting and it was a good learning curve for the boys."
