48.6
Haris Rauf to Phehlukwayo, out Caught by Faheem Ashraf!! Gone this time! Short and wide, Phehlukwayo goes for the pull but he had to really fetch this from outside off. Gets a fat top edge that's taken smartly by Faheem in the short third man region. Phehlukwayo c Faheem Ashraf b Haris Rauf 3(5)
48.5
Haris Rauf to Phehlukwayo, no run, stifled appeal for caught behind, not given. Pakistan aren't reviewing this. Phehlukwayo premeditated the paddle scoop as this went through to Rizwan. Seems like Phehlukwayo had gloved this! Gets away with it

46.2
Haris Rauf to Bavuma, out Caught by Babar Azam!! Bavuma falls in the 90s! A century was there for the taking but he has rightly decided to go hard in these final overs, selfless stuff from the captain. Was on the shorter side, he got across to pull it aerially but ended up skewing it a bit. Straight to deep mid-wicket. End of an efficient innings from Bavuma.

32.4
Haris Rauf to Bavuma, 1 run, short of length around off, Bavuma drops it in front of backward and crosses over. Smart batting
32.3
Haris Rauf to Bavuma, FOUR, back to back boundaries. This is the problem with Rauf; he will get you wickets but also go for runs. Banged into the surface but no height to trouble Bavuma who pulls it backward of square and splits the two fielders in the deep perfectly
32.2
Haris Rauf to Bavuma, FOUR, fifty for Bavuma. First as the South African skipper. He struggled at the beginning but has got himself in and now has to kick on to convert it into a big one. Full and angled in, Bavuma uses his bottom hand to whip it in front of square to the left of mid-wicket, the pace of Rauf and the timing of Bavuma ensured only one result

30.2
Haris Rauf to van der Dussen, no run, dropped? That did carry to Rizwan. Just might have. On a length and outside off, van der Dussen leaves his bat dangling away from the body and the outside edge is found, the ball swerves in on the way to the keeper and Rizwan stays low, gets fingertips before the ball went down. Tough chance but should have done better
30.1
Haris Rauf to de Kock, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Rauf comes back for his second spell and gets the big wicket of de Kock. Pakistan needed that breakthrough as the partnership was building and de Kock in particular was switching gears. He sees mid-off and mid-on inside the ring, tries to greet Rauf with a big hit over the off-side field but the round the wicket angle defeats him, the ball slants in to take a bit of inside edge and goes crashing off-stump. Rauf is elated as he lets out a roar and fist pumps. de Kock b Haris Rauf 80(86) [4s-10 6s-1]

He ensured his body was not in contact with the ad cushions as well
18.1

16.6
Haris Rauf to Bavuma, FOUR, there's the pressure releaser. Rauf knows he has let Bavuma off the hook and is down on his haunches. The South African skipper needed that to get himself going.
