South Africa vs Pakistan Highlights And Cricket Score 1st Match - ODI Commentary

End of Over : 50.0 SA: 266/2

It's quite difficult to tell if Pakistan will be happy with this or not. After the start the hosts got, it was thought that they would get to 300 at least, but the fact that Amla failed to accelerate and van der Dussen couldn't push on as much as he could, possibly resulted in that. Could be that the pitch isn't so that you can hit as much as you'd like. Shadab did well, and the rest did a good job in death overs. Ashraf's final over where he gave away just 7 runs could be the difference maker in this. Let's see how the second half unfolds.

266 on the board? Are South Africa happy with what they have? Enough? Or maybe 15-20 runs short? Only remains to be seen what Faf du Plessis makes of it. A fine day for two people on the opposite ends of a career spectrum. Veteran Amla and debutant van der Dussen were the stars of the show with the bat for the hosts. Post Hendricks' departure after the openers added 82, the two men in question went on to add 155 runs in a whirlwind partnership. The newcomer was electric and took the attack to the opposition bowlers, but missed out on a ton, while Amla crossed the triple-figure mark. Miller came in towards the end and added some quick runs, helping the side post a competitive total on the board.

49.6 4

Faheem Ashraf to David Miller. FOUR! No he cannot finish it off with a dot. Full on off, Miller drives it through covers and Shadab in the deep puts in a dive but cannot stop it from going to the fence. Just 7 runs off the final over. SOUTH AFRICA FINISH OFF THE INNINGS WITH 266/2.

Toss - South Africa have won the coin toss and opted to bat first.

Welcome to the first of this 5-match ODI series between South Africa and Pakistan in Port Elizabeth. With the World Cup just a few months away and this being the first ODI of the year for these sides, both the teams would like to start it on a winning note and get their combinations right before the World Cup. The hosts welcome back their skipper Faf du Plessis for the ODIs after missing the final Test match. Coming to the visitors, they would like to put the sorrows of the Tests behind and bounce back in the ODIs. The Champions Trophy winners welcome back the experienced duo of Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Hafeez. This will be an interesting contest and lets see who comes out on top. Join us in a bit for the start.

End of Over : 49.1 PAK: 267/5

This was the perfect start Pakistan could have asked for after their defeat in the Test series. It was a clinical performance from them and they will be pleased with it. South Africa may have lost, but there certainly are positives to take for them from this game, along with the lessons. The next game takes place on Tuesday, in Durban, at 1300 local (1100 GMT). Do join in for that. Cheers!

Pakistan skipper, Sarfraz Ahmed, says the credit goes to the bowlers first. Also applauds Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam for the way they played. Reckons that they won the game in the middle when the spinners kept it tight and never let the opposition get away with the game. On his captaincy, he says he's always been an animated character and that's how he'll always be.

Man of the Match, Mohammad Hafeez, says it was a great team effort as they first restricted South Africa to a decent score and then chased it down. Mentions that if you win the first game of the series, it always provides good momentum. States that they were always confident after restricting South Africa to 266 and after the start the openers gave, the task became much easier.

South Africa skipper, Faf du Plessis, says they were 10-15 runs short and rues the fact that they couldn't capitalize on the foundation laid by Hashim Amla and Rassie van der Dussen. Credits Pakistan for pacing the chase well and admits there are lessons to take from this game. On Hashim Amla, he says he's found some form since the Test series and also applauds Rassie van der Dussen for the way he played. Adds that these are positive signs, especially with the upcoming World Cup in mind. Continues saying that they needed to adapt to the conditions better, like Pakistan did, particularly in the middle overs, and that is something they should learn from.

South Africa, after posting a below par total on the board, couldn't get the early wickets they needed. And couldn't stem the flow of runs in the middle overs either. The Pakistan top order put its side in a comfortable position, which in turn helped the experience in the middle order to take the visitors home. A few wickets did fall in quick succession towards the end, but the game was more or less over by then. Earlier in the day, South Africa made their way to 266 on the back of a Amla hundred and a van der Dussen 93, but despite that, they couldn't post a score which would be enough.

Despite it going to the last over, it was a commanding win for the Men in Green. The task wasn't that difficult to begin with, but the Pakistan top order made that job that much easier. The openers added 45, and after Zaman's departure, Imam (who missed out on a ton) carried the torch forward. He made two superb partnerships with Azam and Hafeez worth 94 and 46 respectively, which more or less sealed the deal. Hafeez then came in, used his experience, shouldered the responsibility well and saw his side home, remaining unbeaten on 71.
