A fiery knock from Miller and a late onslaught from Linde have given South Africa a respectable total and they'll come out all guns blazing to thwart Pakistan. The powerplay will be key. Pakistan have got their ace players back in the side and it looks like we have a mouthwatering second half coming up. South Africa made quite a few unforced errors and the youngsters got a taste of top-flight cricket. It was a tough ask but it's valuable experience as teams prepare for the next T20 World Cup. The first half of the innings belonged to Pakistan, but Miller brought South Africa back into the game. They looked set for an impregnable total at the end of 10 overs and a late burst ensured they have plenty on the board. Will 183 be enough? We'll find out shortly!
Muhammad Awais : "Surely Fakhar Zaman will be missed here because his favorite conditions and ground too."
Henna: "Don't quite understand why Riwan didn't give a single over to Saim Ayub specially when Sufyan Muqeem was clearly struggling "
Sami: "Small ground and given the inexperience of South Africa's bowling I'd say Pakistan have a great chance here....I remember last time how brutal and amazing Babar and Rizwan were in SA so hoping for the same"
lunch: "Miller and Linde's innings showed that Pakistan can chase this easily. The struggles for many other batters and the way Pakistan took 9 wickets shows that SA can defend this. Interesting game. "
