Another dismal batting performance from Pakistan resulted in series lose 2-0 against the outstanding South Africans. Pakistan got out for 120, South Africa chase down the total in professional fashion and reached home with 6 wickets in hand and 8 balls to spare.
Gream Smith, JP Duminy and Colin Ingran again played superb innings to lead their team of to a great start of the tough and long tour. Smith made 38 of 42 balls, Duminy was unbeaten on 20 and Ingram made 31.
Pakistan powerful attack does their best but the total of 120 runs was too little to defend. Captain Shahid Afridi was outstanding while bowling, he ended his figures with 1 for 13 in his four overs. Part time off-spinner Mohammad Hafeez also bowled very tightly and got 1wicket of just 19 runs in his four overs but South Africa got home with the collective team effort.
Hafeez 14 , Misbah 33 , Razzaq 25 and Zulqurnain 17 were the only players which got into double figures from Pakistan. After 5 for 39, it was very tough to comeback from this but Misbah and Razzaq took the score to 84, then dangerous looking Abdul Razzaq got out on the full toss.
Batting is getting more and more wonderable of Pakistan team, ODIs are coming up so let’s see what Younis can induct to this side or it will be the same as before.
