SA vs PAK LIVE SCORE
Absolute masterclass from Naseem Shah. He just gives two in that one. South Africa need 41 off 6. Pakistan have kept their hopes alive!
Brilliant death bowling from Naseem Shah. He was continuously bowling slower bouncers and Stubbs went for the pull but didn’t really connect that and played it stright to the fielder at deep square leg
Wasim takes an important catch under pressure. Heinrich Klaasen wanted to go for the big hit on the leg side but closed the face of the bat early as Shaheen bowled it full but touch slower. It took the leading edge and went high up in the air. The fielder took a good catch around short third man region
Heinrich Klaasen and Tristan Stubbs have been phenomenal after the play has resumed. Klaasen has taken on Shaheen now. He hit him for a boundary towards the on side and then followed it with another one over mid off
The play will resume at 10:40 pm Local time and the innings will be reduced to 14 overs for South Africa. The target has been reduced to 142 and the Proteas need 73 more to win from five overs
Good news! The covers are coming off and we will resume LIVE ACTION in some time. The pitch cover remains. We don’t really know if there will be a revised target
And once again rain has stopped play in Sydney with South Africa at 69/4. The DLS par score after 9 overs is 85 which means they 16 behind
It’s Markram who has to walk back for 20 off 14. Bowls that straight and full, Markram goes on the back foot to cut that one away but completely misses the ball and is cleaned up
Shadab Khan is having a brilliant putting today. Het gets a wicket on the very first ball. Tosses that up, gets a little bit of spin as Bavuma tries to push that through the off side but the ball takes the outside edge and Rizwan takes a good catch behind
After 6 overs,South Africa 48/2 ( Temba Bavuma (C) 28 , Aiden Markram 11)
This has been a good comeback from South Africa after suffering early blows. Temba Bavuma has been aggressive in his approach while Markram is rotating to strike well
STAT ALERT!
At 22 years 211 days, Shaheen Afridi is the youngest pacer to pick 50 T20I wickets
That’s two down now and it’s Rossouw who will walk back for 7 off 6. Shaheen bowls that back of the length, way outside off as the left-hander throws his bat on it but only manages to get the top edge. The ball flies behind around the third man region and Naseem Shah takes a good catch
Pakistan needed an early breakthrough and Shaheen has got one. He bowls it touch fuller to De Kock who swings the bat to go over mid-wicket but miscues his stroke and is caught by Haris for 0 off 5
We are back with LIVE ACTION! Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma open the innings, Shaheen Afridi bowls the first over
After 20 overs,Pakistan 185/9 ( Naseem Shah 5 , )
PAK vs SA
Some entertainment for the spectators in the last half hour. Shadab, Iftikhar scored runs quickly, South Africa dropped some catches. They were surely some difficult ones. Pakistan have posted 185/9 in 20 overs
Stubbs finally holds on to that one. Shadab was looking to go big again as he takes the aerial route on that touch slower, length ball but doesn’t time it well and is caught in the deep. He goes for 52 off 22
13 runs from just one ball. Shadab hammers two in two. Nortje bowls a waist height no-ball as Shadab throws his bat on it and gets a maximum on the leg side. He then hits the FREE HIT for another six over long to notch up a 20-ball 50
Runs! Runs! And more runs! Shadab Khan hammered one through the mid off to get a four and then played the upper cut on a short one from Nortje to get a maximum to third man boundary
After 16 overs,Pakistan 135/5 ( Iftikhar Ahmed 40 , Shadab Khan 22)
PAK vs SA LIVE SCORE
The momentum has shifted towards Pakistan as they get crucial runs in that last over. Iftikhar first hit a 106m six over square leg boundary and then Shadab concluded the over with a four on the leg side
A boundary to begin that over and Shadab now gives smashes a six. He gives ahimself some room and goes inside out on that tossed up delivery from Shamsi over extra cover for a maximum
And Shamsi does break the partnership. He tosses this one up, bowls it straight on the stumps as Nawaz tries to sweep but misses the ball and is trapped in front of the stumps for 28 off 22
Nawaz goes for the slog as Shamsi bowls it into the slot. Pakistan are back on track with this stand. South Africa need to break this partnership
After 12 overs,Pakistan 82/4 ( Iftikhar Ahmed 22 , Mohammad Nawaz 18)
Pakistan vs South Africa
South Africa got some early wickets but Nawaz and Iftikhar are now getting the side back on track. This is good partnership between the two
That’s a massive wicket. Shan Masood is gone. South African bowlers have used the slower ones to perfection. Nortje bowls that full and straight as Masood just chips that one in the air and Bavuma does the rest at mid off
Babar Azam was not at all looking comfortable today and he skies this one from Ngidi. He gets the elevation but not the distance and Rabada holds on to a stunner, running back from mid-wicket area. Babar is gone for 6 off 15 as Pakistan lose three
Ah! Commentator’s curse. Haris has been trapped in front of the stumps by Nortje as he bowls that touch slower, coming into the right-handed batter. He goes upstairs but the ball tracker shows that it’s pitched in line and would have hit the stumps. He goes for 28 off 11
Haris is having some fun at the moment. Fuller one from Nortje, the right-hander moves across and scoops it over the wicket-keeper’s head for a maximum
Two sixes in a row from Haris. He first hammers a fuller delivery over deep mid-wicket and now helps this short one going down the leg on its way for another maximum
This wasn’t the start that Pakistan were looking for. Rizwan first hits a boundary through the off side and then plays one on to his stumps. He goes for 4 off 4
Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan begin the proceedings for Pakistan, Wayne Parnell will bowl the first over. This is a very important fixture for Pakistan. They need to win both the remaining matches
