...Presentation...
Earlier in the game, it was a dominant bowling performance by Pakistan that saw them bundle out South Africa for a mere 143 runs. Despite a solid 72-run opening stand between Quinton de Kock and Lhuan-dre Pretorius, the Pakistani spinners, led by Abrar Ahmed (4/27), triggered a massive collapse. Salman Agha struck two quick blows to open the floodgates, and then Abrar ran through the middle order, with South Africa losing wickets in clusters. Skipper Shaheen Afridi then sealed the demolition with two wickets in two balls, giving him figures of 2/17, while Mohammad Nawaz and Salman Agha also chipped in with two wickets each.
Apart from Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Quinton de Kock, the others added just 48 runs to the total and that tells you the story. In a must win game, the inexperienced Proteas line up crumbled with the most proeficient knock coming from Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Quinton de Kock. Once they fell, it was a procession against come quality spinners on a rank turner. In reply, needing a modest total, Pakistan needed one man to step up and Saim Ayub came to the party with his fine half-century. His innings along with Mohammad Rizwan's 32 not out was enough to win the series.
Well, the game was set up by the Pakistani bowlers. They ripped through the Proteas line-up. Abrar Ahmed particularly, who grabbed four wickets to register his career-best figures of 4/27. The others played their part. Shaheen Afridi was reluctant to bring in Abrar Ahmed against the left-handed openers but once they departed, Ahmed came in and dismantled the South Africa batting group, breaking their back single-handedly. Agha and Nawaz too played their part while the skipper cleaned up the tail with ease.
Mohammad Rizwan drops his bat in triumph as Pakistan win a bilateral ODI series against South Africa in their home soil for the first time.

Oh, pretty good review though! On the shorter side and it stays low enough and nips back in to ping Ayub on the pads. South Africa appeal but it is turned down. They take it upstairs. No bat on it. Ball Tracking shows it is umpire's call on the impact on the wickets hitting as well.
South Africa take an LBW appeal upstairs. Height seems to be an issue.
