Pakistan vs South Africa Highlights And Cricket Score 3rd Match - T20I Commentary

End of Over : 20.0 PAK: 168/9

Morris feels pretty good about restricting Pakistan to this total. Reckons they got away in the end but they would have taken this total at the beginning. Believes that the visitors are number 1 in the world in T20Is for a reason and thus, they can never rule them out and knows that the hosts have to be constantly on the money. In the end, he leaves by saying that it is not an easy ground to defend scores and that they (South Africa) should win if they bat well.

South Africa won't be too unhappy with the score because it is a chaseable one. After going for runs in the Powerplay, they fought their way back in. Beuran Hendricks stood out with his career best of 4/14. Morris picked up a brace while Sipamla and Phehlukwayo got a wicket each but went for runs. So, South Africa have a great chance to clean sweep Pakistan if they bat well. Join us in a bit for the chase. Meanwhile, Chris Morris is down for an interview.

A fighting total from Pakistan. After losing their way, Shadab has ensured they have something on the board. The visitors started well when Babar and Fakhar gave them a head-start. Once that partnership broke, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. The tourists needed someone to bat through but that didn't happen. Thanks to Asif and Shadab but mainly the latter at the end, the Men in Green get near the 170-run mark.

19.6 6

Andile Phehlukwayo to Shadab Khan. SIX! Good way to finish the innings. Amazing shot from Shadab Khan. Short of a length delivery, Khan pulls it between mid-wicket and deep square leg for a biggie. Big over for Pakistan. 21 runs have come from it. The visitors would have got momentum with this and will believe the score is a fighting one now. SOUTH AFRICA WILL NEED 169 TO WIN.

Shoaib gets caught in the middle of nowhere and Andile Phehlukwayo throws the ball calmly to Klaasen who whips the bails off. No way for the Pak skipper to get back. Both got stuck almost parellel to each other and hence the confusion regarding who was out. After many replays, it is the experienced Malik who has to make the long walk back. Big blow for the visitors.

TEAM NEWS - South Africa are unchanged from the previous game. Pakistan have two changes to the team that played the second T20I, with Mohammad Amir and Faheem Ashraf replacing the duo of Usman Khan and Hasan Ali.

TOSS - South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl first.

Welcome to the final T20I of this three-match series between South Africa and Pakistan. The Proteas have sealed the series 2-0 and this game is a dead rubber. But that said, do not expect any pleasantries to be served by the hosts. They will look to whitewash the visitors 3-0. David Miller, the captain has been doing well winning both the matches as well as the Man of the Match award in both games. This must have given him lot of confidence, and the series being done already gives him an opportunity to give the bench a go. On the other hand, Pakistan will look to get a consolation victory to end what has been a disappointing tour. Changes are likely to be there for the visitors as well. Toss and team news to follow...

End of Over : 20.0 SA: 141/9

Blanked 3-0 in the Tests, pipped 3-2 in the ODIs and beaten 2-1 in the T20Is. The Pakistan team fought hard in the white ball leg but they head home without any silverware. South Africa would definitely be pleased with this performance and will be looking forward to the Tests at home against Sri Lanka coming up. Thus, a pretty long tour consisting all the formats comes to an end and we saw the visitors being outplayed. Hope you enjoyed the coverage as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you. Take care and cheers!

David Miller, the captain of the South African team is also the Man of the Series. He is happy that the Proteas came out and showed their class in all three formats. Says that he enjoyed captaining the side in the T20Is, and thanks his teammates for supporting him and helping him all the way. Applauds the people who got the chance and put their hand up to beat the number 1 side in the world. Reckons that the Pakistani bowling attack is one of the best in the world but it was great the way they played them and got to the victory. He now walks over to collect the trophy and calls over his teammates for the shutterbugs. Lots of smiles around and South Africa must be really pleased by the performance in all 3 formats in this long drawn-out tour.

Shadab Khan is the Man of the Match for his all-round performance tonight. Feels that it was a plan to just wait for the last over and then smash how much ever is possible in it. Mentions it was a great tour for them and a lovely learning curve for all of the youngsters. Reckons it was good to come out of the comfort zone of UAE and then bowl here where he did not find it so easy.

Shoaib Malik, Pakistan's captain is happy with the win and says that it is good that there are some smiling faces at the end of the night. Feels that they were good in the white ball leg of the tour but concedes that they need to be better in the crunch situations. Reckons that they could have won the series but feels that what is important is to learn from this and come back and do better if they are in the same position again. Praises Shaheen Afridi and mentions that he is talented but needs to continue learning and improve day by day. Laughs slightly when he is asked as to how Pakistan unearth fast bowlers all the time but mentions that it is good for his country, also puts a lot of praise on Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq as well. Continues to say that it was a good learning curve for them and mentions it is important to play well abroad. Signs off by congratulating the South African team for winning all 3 series.

South Africa were maybe complacent. Had a very bad Powerplay and then the pressure got the better of them. Miller, Rassie didn't find the gaps and left Morris with too much to do. Earlier on in the evening, the hosts had Pakistan well under control but a final burst from Shadab Khan ensured Pakistan get to 168. It proved to be the difference in the end. Stay tuned for the final presentation of the tour.

The visitors started well picking up two early wickets in the Powerplay. That pegged the hosts back. They then got the big wickets of Klaasen, Miller and Rassie at regular intervals stopping the flow of runs. Morris got to his maiden T20I fifty but was left with plenty to get in the end. Imad bowled 4 overs at a stretch and was brilliant. Amir got 3 while Shaheen gave him good company. All the bowlers got a wicket with Shadab and Ashraf bagging a brace.

What a win for Pakistan. They manage to comfortably by 27 runs in the end. After the first innings, majority thought that 168 was below par but they have bowled out of their skin and defended this target.

Pakistan appeal and the umpire obliges. South Africa take the review but it doesn't help their cause. They lose the review as well as their 6th wicket.

9.6 2

Mohammad Amir to David Miller. NOT OUT! David Miller is just in. Huge cheer from the crowd. A length ball outside off, driven wide of deep cover by the southpaw and he decides to come back for the second pretty late. The throw goes to the bowler's end where Amir collects the ball and then hurls it towards the keeper's end. Scores a direct hit. The umpire at square leg takes it upstairs where replays show that the batsman is safe. South Africa are 59/3 at the end of 10 overs. They need 110 runs in 60 balls now.

Short of a length outside off from Amir to start, Heinrich looks to pull it away but the ball goes off the top edge and straight up. Goes to mid off where Malik takes the simplest of catches. The uncomfortable 10-ball stay for Klaasen comes to an end. Pakistan on fire now, the hosts need 139 off 77 balls.

This time a slower ball outside off and Rassie was caught on the crease as he looked to drive. Hence, misses the ball and South Africa end the Powerplay at 24/2. Pakistan on top here, the hosts need 145 in 84 balls now.

The physio is come out to have a check on Rassie. He looks fine.

5.5 0

Shaheen Afridi to Rassie van der Dussen. OUCH! That must have hurt. A bouncer from Afridi, van der Dussen looks to pull but the extra bounce causes the ball to go off the glove and onto the grill. Looks to be rattled and the Pakistan players come to ask him if he is alright. Good thinking from Shaheen though to bowl the short ball now.

Klaasen looks to run it down to third man but the ball moves away a bit and beats his outside edge in the end. There is a huge appeal from the bowler and the keeper but there was nothing on the ball. They do not take it upstairs. Replays show that it was a good decision.

Shaheen Afridi to Heinrich Klaasen. Outside off this time, left alone by Klaasen.

3.2 3

Shaheen Afridi to Rassie van der Dussen. Just a little too far! A length ball on middle, Rassie lifts it high but not too far. The ball flies over mid on where Amir tries to run back and take that one with outstretched arms but the ball is just a bit too far away from him in the end. Three runs are taken by the batsmen till the ball returns. That is good running.

3.1 0
