SA vs PAK Commentary

8:23 PM IST So it is 2-0 then, for a confident Pakistan against a fairly inexperienced South African side, at least in their bowling, choosing to rest key players ahead of the Test series. Pakistan would be happy with this momentum and aim for a whitewash come Sunday, 22nd December, 2024, when they play the 'Pink ODI' - the final one-dayer of this series, in Johannesburg. The first ball in that game is scheduled to be bowled at 12 pm GMT but our build up will begin way earlier. So do tune in early. Till then, you can catch all the action from the Zimbabwe-Afghanistan series and the West Indies-Bangladesh series. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

8:22 PM IST TEMBA BAVUMA, skipper of South Africa, says that for the first 25 overs with the ball, they had the game under control but in the next 25, they let it slip, conceding more than 200 runs in the latter half, erasing all the good work that they had done earlier. Is firm on his decision to bowl first and says that there was plenty on offer for the bowlers early on. Admits that batting has been letting them down with batters not reaching the three-figure mark. Adds that while it is a positive that batters are getting in, they would want to start converting those starts into hundreds.

Shaheen Afridi to Marco Jansen, no run

139.0kph

OUT! BOWLED! No chance of miscommunication this time! Shaheen Afridi does not need any help. He does it all by himself. Targets the stumps and communicates to the ball that he needs it to face the base. The ball obeys and it goes right under the bat, as Marco Jansen is late in getting his bat down to that yorker. He departs for 3 (6) and South Africa are 203/6, needing another 127 from 86 balls.

Abrar Ahmed to Tony de Zorzi, no run

OUT! BOWLED'EM! An absolute beauty from Abrar Ahmed! He bowls the googly here, slower through the air, lands on the leg stump line and turns away sharply. Tony de Zorzi prods forward to work it away but gets done in by the flight and plays down the wrong line as well. The ball spins past the outside edge and rattles the stumps. The 40-run stand is broken and the set de Zorzi departs for 34 off 40. South Africa are 74/2 and need another 256 from 228 balls.

b Abrar Ahmed

8:16 PM IST A series of starts was the story of this run chase. 5 out of the top 6 got starts, but could not convert them into anything substantial. Perhaps it was the required rate, or perhaps it was the effect of T20 cricket. But unlike Pakistan, the Protea batters were not keen on building a strong base. That led to four wickets falling a bit too quickly and the drama unfolded.

8:16 PM IST MOHAMMAD RIZWAN, the victorious captain of Pakistan, says that it is a team game and everyone chipped in at different stages. Adds that Saim Ayub gave them a good start and then he (Rizwan) and Babar Azam took the match deep, which was the plan. Mentions that Kamran Ghulam played an incredible knock and he always trusted him to come up with the goods, having played with him at Peshawar in domestic cricket. Ends by saying that Pakistan's bowlers were fantastic as well with Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah and Abrar Ahmed, all chipping in with wickets.
