INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
JOHANNESBURG: Babar Azam hit a majestic 90 but Pakistan´s long streak of series wins came to an end in the moment Twenty20 international
against South Africa at the Wanderers Stadium on Sunday.South Africa took a winning 2-0 lead in the three-match series with a dramatic
Pakistan had much lost a T20 series since they were eliminated from the World T20 in India in March 2016.Pakistan were on track to overtake
South Africa´s 188 for three until Azam was out off the first ball of the 17th over
It started a break down in which six wickets fell for 34 runs in four overs.The contrast between the two innings was stark
South Africa started slowly but stand-in captain David Miller plundered an unbeaten 65 off 29 balls as the hosts scored 127 runs off the
final ten overs, including 29 off the final over bowled by Usman Shinwari.Pakistan scored rapidly at the start of their innings, with Azam
hitting the first three balls off Beuran Hendricks for four
It was 70 for one at the end of the six-over power play -- 26 runs ahead of South Africa´s total at the same stage.Azam and Hussain Talat
(59) put on 102 off 75 balls for the moment wicket."We had the game but we couldn´t finish it," said Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik.The
tempo of the game changed when Azam pulled a slower ball from Beuran Hendricks to deep midwicket after hitting 13 fours and a six in a
58-ball innings."We didn´t start too well with the ball," said Miller, who was named man of the match
"We were too short and too wide but the bowlers pulled it back."Although neither took a wicket, Miller praised left-arm spinner Tabraiz
Shamsi and new fast bowler Lutho Sipamla for economical bowling in the middle overs before the late-innings break down.Miller, captaining
South Africa for the first time because Faf du Plessis was rested for the final two matches of the series, hit five sixes and four fours in
an explosive innings, which followed a similarly aggressive 45 off 27 balls by Rassie van der Dussen, who hit four sixes.South Africa made a
relatively sedate start on an strangely slow, dry Wanderers pitch
Left-arm spinner Imad Wasim, who opened the bowling, took one for nine in four overs
He bowled a maiden to new opening batsman Janneman Malan, who had an otherwise promising innings of 33 off 31 balls.Left-arm fast bowler
Shinwari conceded 63 runs off his four overs.PAKISTAN 181/7 in 20 overs (SA 188/3)South Africa win by 7

toss and opted to bowl in the moment T20 against South Africa at Johannesburg's The Wanderers Stadium on
Sunday.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pakistan fell short of
South Africa by a whisker nsprint; six runs nsprint; in the first Twenty20 International, and shall be desperate to hit back in the moment
game on Sunday (nowadays) and take the series into a decider.Match shall start at 05:30 pmThe South African top order had a good outing in
While Gihahn Cloete was dismissed for 13, Reeza Hendricks and Faf du Plessis smashed 74 and 78 respectively to supply a fine base for the
middle and lower order to build on in the death.However, the batsmen who followed could much replicate their heroics nsprint; none managed
more than 10 nsprint; allowing Pakistan to fight back in the death overs and keep their target within sight.With du Plessis rested for the
final two games, a bulk of the responsibility shall now fall on the stand-in skipper, David Miller.South Africa couldn''t really contain the
scoring either, with all of Babar Azam, Hussain Talat and Shoaib Malik getting starts.It credit to the home bowlers that they came roaring
back, taking wickets regularly to endegree Shoaib Malik had to try and do it all by himself.David Miller also played a big role
With four catches and two run-outs, he was a livewire in the field and was adjudged Frolicer of the Match.Pakistan shall take heart from
their bowlers& performance in the death overs
They took five quick wickets to stun South Africa middle order, and Usman Shinwari, who returned 3-31, shall be raring to go again in
Johannesburg.The visitors, however, shall be aware of the need for their batsmen to muchch a big score
Every of Azam, Talat and Malik managed starts, but Pakistan needed measureone to go on and get a big score and finish the chase
In tight T20 matches, that is key.There was good news for Pakistan, with Mohammad Hafeez, ruled out of the first game with a hamstring
problem, set to return in Johannesburg.Malik, the stand-in skipper, might also consider bringing in one of Shaheen Afridi or Mohammad Amir
to infuse more pace into the attack.TheIndianSubcontinent has not verified the content of the source
