That is all from this game! South Africa have won the series but there is still one more game to go! Join us for the third T20I on the 14th of this month at 4 pm GMT! Less than 24 hours to go! Join us earlier for the build up. Till then, goodbye and cheers!

Heinrich Klaasen says he couldn't be happy for Reeza Hendricks as it was pleasing to watch him. Shares they were frustrated at the halfway mark but it was a par score and the pitch remained same as well. Tells Rassie van der Dussen has a lot of experience and the job was to get him on the strike.

Mohammad Rizwan says Reeza Hendricks played really well. Tells Babar Azam and Saim Ayub played well but they were still looking for 220 plus score. Shares Saim Ayub was exceptional and so was Irfan Khan.

Reeza Hendricks wins the PLAYER OF THE MATCH AWARD. He says it's been a while he has scored a triple-digit score but more importantly happy to help the team win. Tells things started to click, he found the middle of the bat! Shares it was a tactic to target the short boundary. On the partnership with Rassie van der Dussen, says they have played together domestically as well so it helps.

...Presentation...

Reeza Hendricks has been around the white-ball with his national team for a long team and you feel, he owed one big innings, one big match winnings innings to his team. Today was the day, to day was the special day as Reeza Hendricks turned up the heat to score his first ever T20I century. Some of the shots were just magical to see. His ton included 10 humongous sixes and 5 came from Rassie van der Dussen's blade who played the perfect second fiddle to Hendricks. Reeza Hendricks fell but Rassie van der Dussen did the finishing job as South Africa won by 3 balls to spare.

Pakistan are known for their bowling, which suits them most often. They started well with Jahandad Khan striking a couple of blows inside the Powerplay. However, the pacers, mainly Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf went for plenty after that. Abrar Ahmed was the most economical and if one could have given a thought to Mohammad Rizwan to give Saim Ayub an over or two with the other spinner doing well. You never know, things could have turned out differently.

South Africa won it comfortably. Yes, comfortably, they chased down a humongous total! Wow! What a game! More than 400 runs overall. Have a thought for Saim Ayub and Pakistan, who looked so confident at the halfway mark on the back of such a big total. The hosts didn't let the crowd down and entertained them to win the series.
