19.4 to C Bosch, holes out at long on. Short ball, sticky bounce, Bosch tries to flat-bat a big shot down the ground but it is mistimed. The slower ball at 120kph forces the error too. Faheem does the rest at long on. 194/8 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 0 | 34 | 1 | 11.33 | 5 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 | |
18.5 to GF Linde, two stumps on the floor! Full, on the stumps, Linde tries to play across the line. And Linde has been beaten by the pace. A nifty knock comes to a close and the umpires need to put two poles back into the ground after that delivery. 186/7 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 31 | 2 | 7.75 | 6 | 3 | 0 | 2 | 0 | |
3.5 to Q de Kock, golden arm, Saim! De Kock slices a simple catch to point. Full outside off. Bit of turn away and he gets a thick outside edge while driving. A good cameo from de Kock, but he leaves us wanting more. 44/1 10.3 to MP Breetzke, half-tracker pulled to deep square leg! Saim bowls a short ball like a seamer, and Breetze attempts a pull. However the extra pace hurries the batter up, and the execution is not good. In the air and a simple one for the outfielder Nawaz. 112/4 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 42 | 1 | 10.50 | 7 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 0 | |
17.3 to RR Hendricks, partnership broken! Skiddy length ball around off and angling into the stumps. He tries to swipe it across the line but his eyes are off the ball, and all he can do is find air. Stumps scrambled again. 178/6 | ||||||||||
| 1 | 0 | 15 | 0 | 15.00 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
| 4 | 0 | 26 | 3 | 6.50 | 9 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 1 | |
7.4 to T de Zorzi, Nawaz foxes de Zorzi! He knew de Zorzi was itching to come down the ground. Bowls it very wide and very full outside off. Usman was alert to get in position to grab the ball and whips the bails off quickly. De Zorzi is no man's land, and the experienced spinner stops the brief onslaught. A solid outing on debut from TDZ. 93/2 9.3 to D Brevis, ball stays low, it goes through Brevis' defense, and the youngster falls for nine! Full around off stump and Brevis gets in shape for a slog sweep. But the ball dips late, Brevis is through the slog too early, and his off stump is pegged back. Time for drinks too.. 109/3 13.6 to D Ferreira, ends his spell with a wicket - Nawaz finishes with 3 for 26! Length ball on off and angling into middle stump. The batter goes onto the back foot and clears his front leg to try and find some space for a shot on the leg side. He misses as the ball skids through. The stumps are left scrambled and Nawaz raises his right hand to signal he's the boss tonight. 139/5 | ||||||||||

11.3 to Hasan Nawaz, top of off! And the bails have gone flying. Length ball aimed at the stumps. Nawaz looks for a big shot over the leg side but he's swiped without looking at how much the ball has bounced. Variable bounce takes the ball under his blade, and the umpires have some work to do to retrieve the bails.. 85/5 | ||||||||||
| 3.1 | 0 | 21 | 2 | 6.63 | 11 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 0 | |
4.5 to Sahibzada Farhan, Farhan looks to get going and instead he misses the shot! Length ball angling into middle stump and Farhan makes room to play the cut. He misses and the ball smashes into middle and off stump. Williams with an extravagant celebration, like Lebron James. Farhan goes for a 19-ball 24.. 31/1 18.1 to Mohammad Nawaz, full on leg stump. He tries to chip a shot over the leg side but he has hit it too well. Bosch at wide long on takes a reverse-cup catch and South Africa win by 55 runs!. 139/10 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 14 | 4 | 3.50 | 17 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
5.3 to Babar Azam, Babar Azam is out for a duck! A forgettable beginning to his comeback. The crowd is silenced. This was a short of good length ball angling into Babar. He backs away and tries to use the last few powerplay deliveries to go over the infield. But the attempted swipe comes off the high-part of the bat with the blade turning in his hand too. Easiest of catches to cover.. 33/2 7.2 to Agha Salman, Up goes the finger! The Pakistan skipper has to go! 144kph full ball angling in from outside off, and Salman shuffles across and swipes across the line, only to miss and be rapped on the pads, or rather his front thigh as he was also crouching. Impact seems to be in front of the stumps and this looks plumb. And that's projected to be crashing into top of middle, and Salman takes a review with him. 43/3 14.4 to Shaheen Shah Afridi, Bosch earns that wicket! What a great spell he has bowled and this is just reward. Back of a length ball, cranked up pace, on leg-stump thereby cramping Shaheen. He wildly slogs across the line and the ball hits the top-half of his bat. Pops up for Bosch to run forward and take the catch off his own bowling.. 109/8 16.6 to Naseem Shah, he finishes his spell with a fourth wicket! Corbin Bosch, take a bow! 4 for 14 on the night with 17 dot balls! This was a good length ball outside off but angling into off stump. Naseem wants to avoid the pacy delivery so backs away instinctively. But he lets his bat hang outside, and it takes an edge to the keeper. Sharp catch diving to his right with the ball staying low. Bosch's best T20I figures and Pakistan are nine down.. 124/9 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 0 | 31 | 3 | 10.33 | 7 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 0 | |
10.5 to Saim Ayub, full ball just outside off. Gets forward and tries to drive over cover but instead toe-ends the shot. Lobbed to cover, and Linde has his man. Finally at least. Ayub goes after a Jekyll and Hyde kind of innings.. 82/4 12.1 to Usman Khan, Linde foxes Usman easily! Linde delivers a length ball in a flat manner around off stump, and then gets the ball to turn away sharply. Usman wildly comes down the track to look for an aggressive shot, but the turn has totally done him in. He doesn't really bother turning back because he knows his stumps would be broken by the wicketkeeper. Pakistan six down.. 87/6 12.5 to Faheem Ashraf, Reverse sweep fails as Faheem falls for 1. This was full around off stump and Faheem tried to get it over the packed infield on the off side. But a bit of turn into him along with the extra bounce forces the error, and it's a dolly of a catch for the fielder at conventional point. That's Linde's third wicket in seven balls.. 89/7 | ||||||||||
