00:00Hello and a very warm welcome to all our viewers all around the world.
00:13We are here once again in beautiful Rawalpindi for this Bank Al-Fla presents KFC T20 Cup.
00:21Pakistan versus South Africa series.
00:24Pakistan winning the toss and electing to field.
00:27T20 World Cup looming just under three months away and the talk of the town is certainly the return of Quentin Dukok alongside Riza Hendricks.
00:36Tony DeZorzi off a great test series here in Pakistan and the powerhouse middle order of Breavers, Breaverska, Ferreira, Linda and Bosch.
00:46The all-rounders and Williams Berger back from injury as well and we'll have Lungi Ngidi taking the new ball.
00:54A lot of excitement for Pakistani fans primarily for one name especially.
01:01Number three batsman Babur Azam is making a comeback.
01:05Farhan has been in red hot form as an opener.
01:08Saim Ayyub has got runs under his belt in first class cricket but he needs to get into action straight away in T20 series.
01:15Then we've got Salman and Usman Khan making a comeback.
01:19A good batswell in the middle order is a keeper option for Pakistan.
01:23Nawaz and then we've got the other Nawaz, Mohammed Nawaz, the all-rounder.
01:27Fahim, another all-rounder.
01:28Shaheen Nassim, Abra, the bowling options.
01:30One slip in place, three men in the circle on the lakeside, three on the off and we are good to go.
01:43And a smash gets off the mark.
01:45It's a fast outfield, little bit of width and put away nicely for three.
01:51If they run well, it'll be three.
01:52So, three runs taken.
01:56Just a little trailer, glimpse of things to come.
02:03There's a pickup shot into the gap and four.
02:07Lovely piece of timing and played it away from that deep fielder.
02:13Pull shot, that's gone flat for six.
02:15That's the first big strike from South Africa.
02:18Well, it's the momentum that South Africa will certainly be looking for.
02:21There's a little bit on the shorter side and picks it up beautifully, does Riza Hendricks.
02:30Oh, that slapped.
02:32And four.
02:33Little bit of width.
02:35Shorter in length.
02:37And put away.
02:40Puts it away.
02:41Over the infield.
02:43Once again, it's a tough big for three fielders.
02:47Runs away and hits the fence.
02:51Oh, that is such a great shot.
02:55It made a great sound.
02:57The acoustics were absolutely switched on.
03:03Wider of the stamps and airlifted for four.
03:05Once again, great connection.
03:09Lovely use of the feet.
03:15Catch and gone.
03:17Outside edge.
03:18Simon, you once again, does the trick for Pakistan.
03:22Yeah, great little cameo here from Quinta Dukok.
03:24You feel that the option was there.
03:26Just stuck a hint in the pitch.
03:30And gets the outside edge.
03:31A thick outside edge of his back.
03:34Yep.
03:34The disappointment is there.
03:35He felt like he had the momentum here today.
03:38Coming back in to international cricket.
03:40He goes for 23 of 13.
03:42South Africa.
03:4344 for one.
03:44Newcomer is Tony De Sossi.
03:48Making his T20i debut.
03:54Oh, that's gone.
03:55One bounce probably.
03:57Yes.
03:57Over the fence.
03:59His first four in T20is.
04:01Picked up the length early.
04:02That's poor one from Abrara.
04:09A half-tracker put away for another four.
04:16Picked up again and finds a fence.
04:19Not going Pakistan's way, but South Africa off to a flyer.
04:25That was too short once again.
04:28He's been all over the place.
04:32Captain for the first time, etched.
04:38Who cares?
04:39It's a boundary for South Africa.
04:46Use of the feet.
04:47And the ball flies.
04:49Flies into the stands.
04:50Maybe even over.
04:52Of the Pindy Cricket Stadium.
04:54What a strike from De Sossi.
05:00Gone.
05:00There it is.
05:03That's the second one.
05:04Yes, it will be signaled wide, but brilliant from Mohamed Nawaz.
05:08Saw the left hand coming out.
05:11And hurled it very wide.
05:13Neat work behind the stumps from Misman.
05:16In his comeback game.
05:18Took the bails in no time.
05:19Devil Braves out into the middle.
05:27Up in the air.
05:29And has the distance.
05:30Spoils the over with a maximum.
05:36Short and given the treatment.
05:38That is a poor delivery from Nawaz.
05:41And Reza Hendricks pounces.
05:45Oh, he's got him!
05:48The ball cannons into the stumps.
05:50Nawaz has to.
05:51Yeah, that is a peril.
05:54That is the peril.
05:57When you show aggression.
06:00Without any restraint.
06:02At times you falter.
06:04But how about that wicket for Pakistan?
06:07They were in desperate need of this wicket.
06:09The danger man is walking back.
06:11Matthew Britski is the newcomer.
06:18Oh, that's gone all the way.
06:19That's gone.
06:20Is it?
06:21No, take her.
06:21And it's Nawaz.
06:23Who's in business again.
06:25That's in the short side.
06:27But in this occasion.
06:27Finding the man on a deep square fence.
06:31And these are wickets that Pakistan will greatly accept at this stage of the game.
06:37Britski gone for one.
06:39South Africa one, one, two for four.
06:41Well, Tita Cruz, the South African captain, Donovan Ferreira.
06:50Sweeps.
06:51It's in the air.
06:52Away from the field.
06:53And four.
06:54Fifty comes up for Riza Hendricks.
06:56It's a boundary.
06:57He's 18th in T20Is.
06:59Third versus Pakistan.
07:01And it has been a brilliant innings.
07:03Wickets have gone down from the other end.
07:05But he's stood firm.
07:07And he's played a wonderful innings here.
07:11That's gone.
07:14And will hit the fence.
07:15Such a good shot and great piece of placement.
07:17Pulls him.
07:22It's another one.
07:23He's picked up three.
07:26Not a lot of spin on that one.
07:28But he's been in such great form.
07:30And in that mood that he's toppling the opposition over with guile and precision.
07:34And I can bet you this evening that that man in picture, he was always going to be the man for Pakistan.
07:41Well, he got rid of the South African captain, Donovan Ferreira.
07:44South Africa, 139 for five.
07:47Josh Linde.
07:48Left arm spinner.
07:49And can bat properly as well.
07:53Slashes.
07:54Slashes hard.
07:55The width.
07:56Not in favor of Shaheen Shah.
07:57Afridi flies over third for four.
08:01Oh, wow.
08:03Absolutely belted through the offside.
08:06My goodness.
08:07He packs a punch, George Linde.
08:11Makes matters worse.
08:13Not the line.
08:14Not the length either.
08:15Too much width on offer.
08:17And he goes three on the bounce now.
08:18That skied.
08:23That's off the toe, but does have the distance also.
08:27Once again, the ball flies over the boundary.
08:29Make that four sixes so far.
08:35Oh, and that's a wicket.
08:37It's the breakthrough that Pakistan were off to.
08:42Yeah, it was there from the very get-go.
08:44And just a swipe into too far square.
08:50You'd imagine for Reza Hendricks.
08:51Slightly fuller as well from Abrar.
08:54And he picks up his first footnote.
08:55Not after damage was done by Reza Hendricks.
08:58That's a very good knock.
08:59That of 60 or 40.
09:04Cleans him out.
09:06Full straight.
09:07You miss.
09:08I hit, says Nassim Shah.
09:10Now he's on with pace as well.
09:13He's bowled two cutters.
09:14The previous two.
09:15Not sure.
09:16Doesn't fully commit to it.
09:18Full and straight is the call from Nassim Shah.
09:22Great hand by George Linder.
09:24He goes for 36.
09:25South Africa, 186 for seven.
09:30That's a big hit.
09:31Does he get enough of it?
09:33No, he doesn't.
09:35So in the end, Shaheen Shah Freedy
09:37has the last say against Corbin Bosch.
09:39120 clicks.
09:42Rolls his fingers.
09:43The slow one into the surface.
09:46Gets high on Corbin Bosch's bat as well.
09:49Faheem Shah with a simple take on the fence.
09:52South Africa now, eight down.
09:54Couple of deliveries left in the first innings.
09:57Bosch goes for seven.
09:58Get back, get in.
10:05Does well, Usman Khan, in the end.
10:09Plenty of action to close the first innings out.
10:12Which also means there is a run out.
10:15South Africa will end on 194 for nine.
10:20And just imagine the last five overs have done well for Pakistan.
10:24Great hand by Riza Hendricks, 60 or 40 at the top of the innings.
10:29A few cameos from De Kock and De Zorzi.
10:32And then Linder at the back end of the innings,
10:35creating some momentum for South Africa.
10:37And in the end, South Africa in the allotted 20 overs, 194 for nine.
10:42Now in Pakistan, they had their work cut out.
10:44A couple of wickets with Syme and Nawaz
10:46who were the pick of the bowlers.
10:47Both spinners bagging five.
10:49One to Abra, one to Shaheen and one to Nassim.
10:52The seamers, what expensive.
10:56Pakistan will need 195 runs in there.
10:58A lot of 20 overs.
11:02Wonderful atmosphere out there.
11:05Both of us have been there in the last five overs.
11:07And you can just see the excitement.
11:09The crowd getting into it.
11:10And away we go.
11:13What a start.
11:15Crisply hit for runs.
11:17Gets it past the man at point.
11:19De Fielder comes into play.
11:20Air lift it for a four.
11:30He's a nice timer of the ball in the slot.
11:32And it went.
11:36Another big shot.
11:37Is it a big shot?
11:38Just gets it past that man at mid on.
11:40And ball will run away into the fence.
11:41Slices it.
11:47Gets it past the infield for four.
11:48So he means business.
11:50This is how he bats.
11:52He's seriously gifted.
11:54He attacks.
11:56That's in his instinct.
11:57Yeah, I mean, this is belligerent.
12:04This really is good stuff from Sabzada Farhan.
12:10A ball aim.
12:11This is terrific bowling.
12:13Really is great.
12:15Because he hit the length.
12:17Dangerous looking Sabzada Farhan.
12:19He was shaping up so well.
12:20I don't know why he went across the line.
12:22But he did.
12:23And there's a massive damage done by Williams.
12:27Yeah, and this is the result of pressure.
12:30There's been a huge number of dot balls ball to Saheem on the other end.
12:34Like he's done all too often.
12:37Get rid of the dangerous better in the power play.
12:40Lazard Williams.
12:42Yeah, the king of the west coast they call him.
12:44Pakistan find himself.
12:45Steady one for one.
12:51He's got plenty to prove, Barbarazam.
12:56In the air.
12:58And he's gone.
13:00Barbarazam on his return to T20 in national cricket.
13:04Falls for a duck.
13:07This is not a kind of stroke you associate with Barbarazam.
13:11I don't know what he was trying to achieve there.
13:16Soft dismissal on his comeback game.
13:20Goes without scoring Barbarazam.
13:23Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha in at four.
13:29He does try on that occasion and will get the much needed six.
13:34Finally something of the middle of Saim's bat.
13:37Yeah, it was the ideal length for Saim Ayoub to make the most of it.
13:47Wrapped in the front and the finger goes up as well.
13:51First time he was lucky on line.
13:52This time maybe not so much.
13:55He sent it upstairs.
13:56Let's have a look.
13:57Orinia Dissian is out.
14:01Pitching offered off.
14:01Impacted line.
14:02Wicket sitting.
14:04Rashi stay with Orinia Dissian out.
14:06Standby.
14:09He...
14:09Easy decision for the third umpire.
14:13He confers with Orinia Dissian out.
14:14With on-field umpire.
14:16And Pakistan loses third wicket in shape of their captain.
14:21Still fresh in his career.
14:23Been in and out of the side.
14:24And comes in with his side in a spot of bother.
14:27It's in the air.
14:31And this will clear.
14:33Here's the time for Saim Ayoub to excel.
14:41Goes for the release again.
14:43This time times it even better.
14:45Goes even further.
14:47Back to back sixes from Saim Ayoub.
14:49Breaking the shackles now.
14:54Etched.
14:55Deliberately.
14:57For four runs.
15:00Screening is so important Dr. Anissa.
15:03How important is it to be screened for a woman?
15:06Oh it's incredibly important.
15:08And we know very well that women's health is so often neglected.
15:11By the women themselves.
15:12By investment in healthcare.
15:14Alright.
15:14Thank you so much for your thoughts.
15:16Like you said screening is extremely important.
15:18And it's back to you guys.
15:19In the meantime.
15:22Some activity out there at the crease.
15:24A boundary.
15:25And now a six lender.
15:26They're under pressure.
15:30Ball them.
15:32In a rush.
15:33In a hurry.
15:33Hassan Nawaz doesn't allow himself any time to settle.
15:36Yeah the execution has been sublime from South Africa's seamers.
15:42We spoke earlier about the top of off stump being the option that they're looking for.
15:49And it always comes down to the execution.
15:52We've seen some variable bounce.
15:54And on that occasion.
15:55We see the back of Hassan Nawaz.
15:58He goes for three.
15:58Pakistan in a bit of trouble.
16:00Five down.
16:01Five down.
16:01Four-85.
16:01And now he's got to do it with the bat.
16:05He bowls superbly.
16:07Picked up three wickets.
16:12Gone.
16:12Well he's supposed to be excellent player of spin bowling.
16:16Not to be tonight.
16:17But Osman Khan perishes.
16:19Looking to come down the wicket and somehow gets beaten.
16:26Because he was just a little bit early.
16:28And showed his hand a little early.
16:30To go with that cut shot.
16:33Yeah a hint of turn for George Linder.
16:35Just sat a little bit in the crease.
16:37When we spoke earlier about the fact that the left-hander.
16:40Is no longer at the crease.
16:42That allows for South Africa.
16:43To try and attack.
16:45And attack they do.
16:46Osman Khan he goes for 12.
16:4887 for 6 Pakistan.
16:51It's time for Fahim Ashraf to shine with the bat.
16:53Didn't bowl at all in this contest.
17:02And gone.
17:03Trying a reverse.
17:04Fahim Ashraf is removed from the scene.
17:08Well we spoke about momentum shifts.
17:11And for George Linder.
17:12He's taken three wickets in 70 leverage.
17:16He has certainly tightened the screws here for Pakistan.
17:20Comfortable catch in the end for Lazard Williams.
17:27And that sees the back of Fahim Ashraf.
17:30He goes for just one.
17:35China Free the striker at a 129.
17:37Gets it past.
17:43The first lid fielder for four.
17:45Slicing it.
17:53Decent enough hit to make it to the fence.
17:56So two boundaries on the bounce for Nawaz.
17:58Big shot.
18:04That's a decent hit for six.
18:05Down the ground.
18:08It's Nawaz's night from Pakistan.
18:10He bowls superbly.
18:11He's hitting them crisply.
18:12100 comes up for Pakistan.
18:19Big shot down the ground.
18:20Who will reach the fence after a couple of bounces.
18:25Shahin Shah Afridi muscling that one over mid-off.
18:32Massive miss it.
18:34He's now got three for seven.
18:36Shahin Afridi.
18:38The latest one to bite the dust.
18:39He's trying to look at the splice of his blade.
18:43Never could get it over the infield.
18:46It was straight.
18:47It was quick.
18:47And it was all over for Afridi.
18:52Yeah, this is really impressive by the Proteus.
18:55And the skipper.
18:57Keeping his field in play.
18:59And sees the back of Shahin Shah Afridi.
19:02He goes for four.
19:02Pakistan.
19:03109.48.
19:11Yeah, an excellent.
19:12Excellent shot.
19:13He's going to pick up a boundary.
19:14Yes.
19:15They do.
19:17Oh, he's gone airborne.
19:23And guess what?
19:23A similar result.
19:24Because he's picked the gap.
19:26In that cover region.
19:29Back-to-back boundaries from Nassim Shah.
19:31That's an excellent shot.
19:40I'll tell you what.
19:41Numbers 9 and 10 might have a word with the batters in the dugout afterwards.
19:45Oh, no.
19:51Tell you what.
19:52I think he might have just picked up his fourth.
19:54And yes, he did indeed.
19:57He picks up the wicket of Nassim Shah to finish an excellent spell of bowling.
20:01He's bored beautifully throughout this night.
20:11Nassim goes for nine.
20:13One, two, four, four, nine.
20:13Oh, I tell you what.
20:18That went crisply off the bat through the cover region.
20:20He's going to pick up a boundary.
20:22Mohamed Nawaz continuing his awesome evening he's having out there in the middle.
20:26Oh, I tell you what.
20:31He still has the innovation game as well.
20:33To help himself to the maximum.
20:35Mohamed Nawaz can do absolutely no wrong this evening.
20:39Even in a losing course.
20:44Oh, he's got a leg side.
20:45But has he picked up the field in the deep?
20:47Yes, he has.
20:49And he has picked up the safe pair of hands of Corbin Boss.
20:53And it's only fitting that he forms part of this missile.
20:59He cleans the victory for South Africa here by 55 runs over the home team.
21:05Yeah, convincing.
21:08Very convincing South Africans in their first outing.
21:11They have outclassed Pakistan in every department.
21:16Yeah, convincing victory for South Africa.
21:19They've outplayed Pakistan in all three departments.
21:23They all needed a good start to be able to chase down 194.
21:28A foundation was laid by the openers.
21:31And then there was a struggle for the middle-order batsmen.
21:34Nandre Berger setting the tone up front.
21:37Yeah, he must have been a little bit costly towards the back end.
21:39But doing Gingidi, one for 35.
21:41But it's really been about the Williams-Bosho.
21:44Two for 21 in 3.1 for Williams.
21:47And then how are those figures for Corbin Boss?
21:49Four for 14 in his 14 overs.
21:52But his four overs, pardon me.
21:54But 17 dot balls.
21:56Absolutely exceptional.
21:59So this is the story of the game in a nutshell.
22:03South Africa managed 194 in their allotted 20 overs.
22:09And in reply, Pakistan was way short.
22:13Losing the game by 55 runs.
22:19She's been with us now.
22:21But if people have located behind a little house by RMB,
22:37they were wondering if there's a couple of them away.
22:40spouses trois in the qualifies what's been seen.
22:41We're going to have a resentment.
22:42So this morning we're going to live this past nine through the passage here.
