Kobus: "A proud South African following the game on cricinfo. Currently in Poland. Thanks guys. You commentated as if i am watching it on the TV. " --- Thank you Kobus. And I learn that David Miller is indeed the Player of the Match. Thanks for your company this Friday evening. This is Debayan Sen signing off for the moment on behalf of my colleaugues Ranjith P, Liam Brickhill and Danyal Rasool. See you in a couple of days' time for the second T20. Good night and have a nice weekend, wherever you are tuning in from
Usama Ali: "Great match with very small margins. Pakistan will think about all the direct hits they missed. That chance that Hussain Talat had when he didn't go for the catch of Hendricks...Hendricks hit two fours straight after that. As I say, very small margins can be costly. Well played SA"
Anim: "Someone said pak will lose by 8 runs. Its close enough.. "
Brian Roberts: "Surely 6 wickets by a fielder is a record?"
9.40pm What a game this has turned out to be in the end. Pakistan showing enough to suggest why this three-match series will be a humdinger all the way through. It's a six-run win for South Africa, and most of it powered along by David Miller in the field. Four catches and two run-outs -- the commentators confirm that this is a South African record -- but Pakistan gave it an almighty good go. When Hussain Talat and Babar Azam were cobbling together a good partnership for the second wicket, it was a good tight spell of bowling in tandem from Andile Phehlukwayo and Shamsi that brought the hosts back into the equation. This breaks a sequence of 11 consecutive successful chases in T20Is by Pakistan, a record for any team
Dr. Faizy: "Miller will haunt me for the rest of the night."
Abhinav Ojha: "The 2nd match of the 1986 Champions Trophy was between the mighty West Indies and Pakistan. West Indies won the match by nine wickets, but it was not because of their furious fast-bowlers, but because of their "flying Caribbean" Gus Logie. It was the first time in cricket history that a fielder was adjudged as the Man of Match"

Morris to Malik, OUT
full ball, and he has hit it high, and Miller takes it! It was delivered full, fast, and Malik was looking to get under it enough to go over long on...but then Miller could probably have gone a few feet high off the ground tonight and taken this off the ground. As it stood, he didn' t need to fly...though I wouldn't put it beyond him tonight!

Dala to Malik, no run
slower ball, outside off, and Malik thought this might eventually go for a wide. He had backed away, though, and eventually couldn't get to it

Hendricks to Hasan Ali, OUT
length, outside off, and he has driven it towards long off...to guess who? Angles across Hasan Ali, who then looks to repeat the lofted shot over the covers that he had executed perfectly before, but this time can only get it straight down the throat of a grateful David Miller. Three catches and two direct hits today in the field for Miller, who has just been outstanding

Phehlukwayo to Malik, 1 run, OUT
slower ball, and he has gone for a drive, but top-edged it. Beuran Hendricks drops it at short third man, but South Africa may have Rizwan as he looks to go for the second! It's Miller again! That man can do no wrong today in the field. Hendricks' throw from short third man failed to beat Rizwan, who would have been short, at the striker's end, but then Miller swoops in from midwicket to take the attempted overthrow attempt into a wicket for South Africa with a direct hit. Phew!
