South Africa vs Pakistan স্কোর, 1st T20I of Pakistan vs South Africa 2021

Faheem Ashraf to Bjorn Fortuin. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot working, to deep square leg for 2 runs, run save by Talat, fielded by Afridi. What an end to the first T20I game. Pakistan held their nerve at the crunch stages and thus emerged victories. Pakistan win by three runs. Rizwan's maiden century nicely set things up for Pakistan. 170 runs on the board with an inexperienced batting line up that South Africa has, its always going to be tough. Yet, South Africa showed resilience and made 166 odd runs. It indeed was a fantastic game. Mohammad Rizwan is adjudged the player of the match for his explosive batting. Do join us for the second T20I game on 13th of February. Until then, cheers.
