- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.2 clipped off stump! Fast and accurate from the teenager. Length ball on off, and he goes for a backfoot swipe towards midwicket. Beaten for pace, and the ball hits the top of off stump. Sharjeel goes without disturbing the scorers 0/111.5 Fawad gives this ample air, lands on off stump, Azam steps out and does not get hold of the loft. Instead, he slices a catch straight to long-off. You can't really force the pace on this pitch even if you're the No.1 T20I batsman 72/34.5 removes the big hitter! Full, on middle, and he looks to go up and over. Toe-ends the shot, and comfortably caught by midwicket 30/219.3 Delport jumps across off, exposes all three stumps, misses the scoop. The fast man hits the leg stump. Delport falls for 62 147/518.6 legcutter, but comes out as a full-toss, lofted straight into the lap of long-on. Hasnain and Naseem combine for that key wicket. Fine hand from Walton, nevertheless 145/4Extras8 (lb 5, w 3)TOTAL150/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.5)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Sharjeel Khan, 0.2 ov), 2-30 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 4.5 ov), 3-72 (Babar Azam, 11.5 ov), 4-145 (Chadwick Walton, 18.6 ov), 5-147 (Cameron Delport, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.2 pitched further up and slanting away outside off, sucks Shehzad into an away-from-the-body drive. Nicked off to the keeper 0/114.1 spliced to mid off as Watson goes for a big shot again. Stood tall, trying to flat-bat this over the bowler's head, but taken at mid off 139/411.1 holes out. Goes for an innovative paddle after shuffling across, but couldnf't generate the power. Taken at short fine leg 118/212.1 leading edge and easy catch by Walton at cover. Looks to glance it leg side, but leading edge takes it to the off side instead 121/314.2 on a hattrick! Back of a length, on middle. Tries to guide it leg side, but leading edge gives an easy catch to cover 139/5Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL154/5 (16.2 Overs, RR: 9.42)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Ahmed Shehzad, 0.2 ov), 2-118 (Khurram Manzoor, 11.1 ov), 3-121 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 12.1 ov), 4-139 (Shane Watson, 14.1 ov), 5-139 (Ben Cutting, 14.2 ov)
