Match over
0.2 : 0.2: Shaheen Afridi to Janneman Malan, FOUR! A boundary and South Africa and Janneman Malan are underway here! A length ball, around off, Malan looks to push this one through the off side but the ball takes the inner half of the blade and runs through square leg for a boundary.
0.6 : 0.6: Shaheen Afridi to Aiden Markram, FOUR! Aiden Markram opens his account here in some fashion now. A back of a length delivery, outside the off pole this time, Aiden Markram goes back and slams this one through cover-point. 9 off the first over.
2.2 : 2.2: Shaheen Afridi to Janneman Malan, FOUR! A welcome boundary for the hosts! Malan gets it off the second ball of the over too. On a good length and around middle, Janneman Malan lofts this one over the mid off fielder, and into the ropes at long off. 
2.3 : 2.3: Shaheen Afridi to Janneman Malan, SIX! Now, a biggie! Holds the pose for a couple of seconds too! A fuller length ball, around off and middle, Janneman Malan makes some room and slams this one over the bowler's head, for a biggie. The first one of the game! 
2.5 : 2.5: Shaheen Afridi to Janneman Malan, SIX! Another one! A back of a length delivery around off, Janneman Malan gets on top of the bounce and whacks this one all the way over the wide long on fence, for a biggie. 
3.6 : 3.6: Mohammad Nawaz to Janneman Malan, OUT! LBW! Nawaz gets his first wicket and it is also the wicket of Malan, who was looking dangerous! Tossed up delivery on off, Malan looks to cut but misses it and gets hit on the pads. The bowler appeals for lbw and the umpire raises his finger. Malan reviews it. Ultra Edge shows there is no bat involved. Ball Tracker shows it is three reds. So, Malan has to walk back and a good looking first wicket stand comes to an end. 
4.2 : 4.2: Hasan Ali to Wihan Lubbe, FOUR! That is smashed! Short delivery on middle, Lubbe pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary.
4.4 : 4.4: Hasan Ali to Wihan Lubbe, OUT! CAUGHT! Hasan Ali gets his first wicket and gets his revenge as he was sent to the ropes early on in the over! Full delivery on off, this is the slower one. Lubbe lofts it over mid off but does not get the distance on it. It goes towards the fielder where Shaheen Afridi takes a comfortable catch. Two quick wickets are down for the hosts now.

8.5 : 8.5: Haris Rauf to Aiden Markram, SIX! That is huge! Slower length delivery on middle, Markram lofts it over long on for a maximum. This is turning out to be a very good over for South Africa!

10.1 : 10.1: Mohammad Nawaz to Aiden Markram, OUT! CAUGHT! Nawaz gets the wicket this time and this is a big wicket too as Markram is the one who loses his wicket. Shorter and around leg, as Nawaz was looking to follow the batter, who had moved leg side. Markram goes back and looks to punch this one to the off side but he only manages to induce an outside edge, which Rizwan takes on the second attempt.
11.1: Haris Rauf to Heinrich Klaasen, FOUR! SHOT! Beauty of a shot by the skipper! Back of a length delivery outside off, Heinrich Klaasen goes back and whacks this one through point and the ball speeds away to the ropes.

17.5 : 17.5: Shaheen Afridi to Pite van Biljon, OUT! CAUGHT! Afridi gets his first wicket! Full toss on off, van Biljon looks to loft it over covers but does not get the distance on it and also ends up miscuing it towards the third man region. It goes towards the fielder where Mohammad Nawaz takes a good catch.
18.3 : 18.3: Haris Rauf to George Linde, OUT! LBW! Three reds and Linde has to depart! Yorker on middle, Linde looks to flick but misses it and gets hit on the pads.

2.4 : 2.4: Beuran Hendricks to Babar Azam, FOUR! That's played superbly from the Pakistani skipper! A short ball around off and middle, Babar Azam waits and the ball sits up nicely for him. He pulls this one powerfully in front of square on the leg side for a boundary. 
3.1 : 3.1: Sisanda Magala to Babar Azam, NO BALL AND FOUR! That is put away! Short delivery on middle, Azam pulls it over square leg for a boundary. The third umpire calls it a no ball as Magala oversteps. Free Hit coming up!

4.2 : 4.2: Beuran Hendricks to Babar Azam, EDGY FOUR! Length delivery on off, Azam looks to flick but gets it off the outer half of the bat. It goes over point for a boundary. Not where Babar wanted to hit it, but as long as it is a boundary, he will not care. 
4.5 : 4.5: Beuran Hendricks to Babar Azam, OUT! CAUGHT! Hendricks gets the breakthrough and this is the big, big wicket of the Skipper Babar! Short delivery outside off, Azam smashes it over covers but does not get the distance on it. It goes towards the fielder where Lizaad Williams takes a good catch in the deep. Azam will be disappointed as this was a good start, he had with Rizwan and he has thrown that down the drain, with a poor shot.

6.3 : 6.3: George Linde to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR! Consecutive boundaries from Fakhar Zaman! Short again and outside off, Zaman cuts it hard again through point for a boundary. This one was even better than the one, on the last ball. 
6.5 : 6.5: George Linde to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR! Nice shot! Floated delivery on middle, Zaman plays a slog sweep over mid-wicket for a boundary. Zaman is having some fun out there now. His 3rd boundary of the over.

9.6 : 9.6: Tabraiz Shamsi to Fakhar Zaman, OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent catch by Janneman Malan! Flighted delivery on middle, Zaman plays a slog sweep over mid-wicket but does not get the timing on it. It goes towards the fielder where Malan takes the catch but he crosses the ropes. He releases the ball and jumps over the ropes and then does well to come back and take the catch. It is a stunning catch from him.
10.2 : 10.2: George Linde to Mohammad Rizwan, FOUR! CHEEKY! That was so smart. Used Linde's pace and grabbed a boundary. Shortish and around off, Mohammad Rizwan waits for the ball to come onto him and then he guides it late, past the short third man fielder. 
10.4 : 10.4: George Linde to Mohammad Hafeez, FOUR! Hafeez gets off the mark, right on the first ball. Gets a boundary too. Quicker through the air and around off, Hafeez slaps this one behind point and the ball runs away to the ropes, and beats the fielder in the deep, to his left. 
10.6 : 10.6: George Linde to Mohammad Rizwan, FOUR! Rizwan ends the over well. A very good over for Pakistan, 14 off this one. Shortish and around off, MR goes back and pulls this one with venom, through mid-wicket. 
13.1 : 13.1: Tabraiz Shamsi to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT! STUMPED! This is another big wicket as Hafeez has been on fire lately and at an important junction in the game too! Shamsi gets his second wicket! Googly on off, Hafeez comes down the track and looks to go big but misses it. It goes towards the keeper where Klaasen takes the bails off. Replays show that Hafeez was nowhere near his crease. Shamsi is very pleased and he celebrates this wicket with a lot of excitement.

16.6 : 16.6: Lizaad Williams to Faheem Ashraf, SIX! That is hammered! Full on middle, Ashraf lofts it over long on for a biggie. What a way to end the over! 14 runs off the over and Pakistan need 38 off the last 3 overs!

17.2 : 17.2: Beuran Hendricks to Mohammad Rizwan, SIX! That is clobbered! High full toss again on middle, Rizwan smashes it over mid-wicket for a maximum. 10 runs off the first 2 balls and this is exactly the start that Rizwan would have wanted to this over. 
17.3 : 17.3: Beuran Hendricks to Mohammad Rizwan, FOUR! Poor bowling from Hendricks! Low full toss on middle, Rizwan flicks it through mid-wicket for a boundary. 14 off the first 3 balls and is this the over, which turns the tide in the favor of Pakistan?
18.1 : 18.1: Sisanda Magala to Faheem Ashraf, FOUR! Poor delivery from Magala! Low full toss outside off, Ashraf smashes it over covers for a boundary. Looking to bowl the yorkers and the South African bowlers are ending up bowling full tosses. Poor stuff!
