SA beat PAK by 5 wickets | Pakistan vs South Africa, Highlights And Cricket Score 2nd ODI Match - Commentary

203 is the target now and South Africa are big time favorites to chase this down. Can it be defended? Pakistan will have to bowl out of their skins. Will they take a 2-0 lead or will the series be levelled? Join us in a while to find out.

That is when the fightback started though. Hasan Ali, along with his skipper, added a 90-run stand which provided some respectability to the score. The skipper was happy to knock it around and take the singles, whereas the pacer tonked the ball to all parts of the ground. He got his second ODI fifty up but two wickets in one over from Andile, who finished with career-best figures, ended the Pakistan innings.

The South African bowlers were on song right from the start. It was Rabada who got two in the first 10. Then, Olivier and Phehlukwayo joined the party. Shadab and Malik did try and steady the ship but Shamsi then got the better of the leg spinner. Talat and Malik were dismissed soon and at that point 150 looked farfetched.

End of a very, very good bowling performance by South Africa. They have justified their skipper's decision of bowling first, however, they would not be happy with the fact that the visitors crossed the 200-run mark, especially after they were reeling at 112/8.

Kagiso Rabada to Imam-ul-Haq. OUT! In the air... taken! Imam has been bounced out! Early strike for South Africa and the guy who played so well in the last game does not contribute a lot in this one.
