00:00Fives a go, and goes for Borg, unbelievable timing, look at this man, they're always there.
00:30There's a lot of excitement in the air as we once again come to Feslaabad for an international.
00:36It's a three ODI series for the KFC Presents Vigotel Mobile ODI Series 2025.
00:42First ODI from Iqbal Stadium, Feslaabad.
00:45It's Shain Shah Afridi's men versus Britski's pro tiers.
00:49The toss was won by Shain Afridi, decided to bowl first.
00:53And we've got three debutantes for South Africa in Pretorius and Verrera and Kishile.
01:03Well, we've got Quintin de Kock back after two years at the ODI level.
01:08And South Africa opting for the two front line spinners as well in George Linder and Quintin, or rather, Bjorn Fortein, along with Nguidi and Williams to make up that bowling quartet.
01:18A new leader in Shain Shah, Fridi Fakhar, makes a comeback.
01:23Saim Babur Rizwan, Salman Aliaga, the middle order and the top order looks pretty decent.
01:29Then there's a lot of spin options for Shain Afridi in the shape of Nawaz and Abrar, Salman himself.
01:36Saim Ayub has become a frontliner with the ball these days, so he'll be used quite well here by Pakistan.
01:48Here we go, first ball.
01:54Oh, on the bounce.
01:56The ball just stopping a little bit.
01:58And that's going to be the key here.
01:59How you adjust, how you adapt on a pitch where the balls may just stop a bit on you.
02:07How beautiful is that?
02:09How lovely is that straight drive?
02:11Meeting the ball with the full face of the blade in there.
02:14Just letting the world know how talented this guy is.
02:21Nice.
02:21Really nicely punched through the offside.
02:24Shain Shah, Fridi will give up the chase.
02:26Great piece of timing and placement.
02:31Now, how cool is that?
02:33That really is something very special from a special talent.
02:36Quinton de Kock has an answer even better than that.
02:43Brings up the 50 for South Africa and the first big six of the evening.
02:51Once again, the ball flies and it will fly into the Faisalabad crowd.
02:56For the second time now for South Africa.
02:59This time, courtesy, Lohondre Pretorius.
03:06A dream start for young Lohondre Pretorius.
03:09On ODI debut for the Proteus.
03:12He brings up his maiden half century.
03:15It's been a fine knock from a very fine prospect from South Africa.
03:19Ball flies and once again a similar result.
03:28That is now two sixes to Quinton de Kock.
03:31Pakistan have no answers to this onslaught so far.
03:39Catch it and well, it's taken brilliantly.
03:42Really is a cracker at point.
03:44He's batting so well.
03:48A little bit of flight.
03:50The ball gripped and spun.
03:53Yeah, an excellent piece of bowling.
03:55Just slowed it up outside the off stump.
03:57But that's also an excellent catch by Mohamed Nawaz at points.
04:03Pretorius, he goes for 57.
04:04South Africa, 98 for one.
04:07Only better to decrease for South Africa.
04:08Tony DeZorzi.
04:09Down the track, lifts it effortlessly.
04:14Gets it across for a six.
04:17What a strike that is.
04:19Seriously good strike.
04:28An excellent sweep shot by Quinton de Kock.
04:31It takes him to 50.
04:33Coming off just 50 deliveries.
04:35Playing an ODI after a gap of two years.
04:39Gets a great response from the dugout, from the fans here.
04:48Balled him.
04:49Chopped it on.
04:52Nassim Shah with the wicket that was very well needed for Pakistan.
04:56We saw some great scenes from Quinton de Kock in this innings thus far.
05:03But unfortunately, seized the back of him.
05:06By that man, Nassim Shah.
05:08Well played, 63.
05:09Well played, 63.
05:10South Africa, 1.41 for two.
05:14South African one-day international skipper, Matthew Bretzky makes his way out.
05:21Gone!
05:22The slow delivery, the chip back to the baller, Sime has two.
05:30South Africa, three down.
05:31Well, we spoke briefly about the opportunity to bowl a straighter line.
05:36It brings three dismissals into play.
05:38And that leading edge, particularly with the ball turning away, sees the back of Tony de
05:44Zorzi.
05:45And Sam Ayoub, well, he's elated.
05:48And the third wicket goes begging for South Africa.
05:51It's 1.47.
05:53In at five for South Africa.
05:55Sine-Themba Kassile.
05:56Yeah, it's a short one.
06:01But this time around, he got a healthy piece of willow on that and dissected two fielders
06:05out in the deep for the boundary.
06:08Kassile brings up his first boundary.
06:13It's overpitched again.
06:15And guess what?
06:17This time around, he's dissected the fielders at mid-off and mid-on with a classical straight
06:21drive down the ground.
06:24Yeah, it's good to see the crowds in.
06:27Cricket back in Faisal about after 17 years.
06:29And they've come out in their numbers.
06:35This time around, goes Ariel.
06:38Does the distance.
06:40That'll be a pressure releaser for the captain.
06:45Oh, it's airborne and easiest of catches at backward point.
06:52Fakir Zaman into the action.
06:55He was getting the ball to grip.
06:58A lot of turn on that occasion.
07:00Since he backed away too much from the leg stump, wasn't in control.
07:05But Fakir was an easy take for him.
07:08And he's amongst the wickets.
07:10Mahabandavas, the left armour.
07:12Good contribution from Kassile.
07:1522, it's 191 for four.
07:18Yeah, it brings to the crease.
07:19The South African T20 captain, Donovan Ferreira.
07:22Oh, short, it was picked up.
07:27And it was deposited for a maximum.
07:31Yeah, sharp foot movement from the captain Brietska.
07:35That's up in the air.
07:39Catch it is the call.
07:41Fielder should take this.
07:42And he does.
07:44Barbara Razum under the ball.
07:46Safe as houses.
07:48Abraar picks up his first for tonight.
07:50Yeah, smiles all around for Pakistan.
07:52They understand the impact of the situation of the game.
07:5714 overs left.
07:59And the powerhouse of Ferreira.
08:03We saw a few dot balls.
08:06Felt the pressure.
08:08And looks for the big one.
08:09And straight to Baba Razum, who does the rest.
08:12Ferreira.
08:13He goes for three.
08:14South Africa, 202 for five.
08:17202 on the board.
08:18And in to the middle walks George Linder.
08:23And that's the edge.
08:25That sees the back of George Linder.
08:29And a faint tickle to Mohamed Rizwan, who obliges.
08:33George Linder looks back in disgust.
08:35Nassim Shah can have the last dance.
08:38Seven overs.
08:39He's picked up two so far.
08:41Linder goes for two.
08:42South Africa, 209 for six.
08:43And out walks Corbin Bosch.
08:53Nicely placed, nicely timed.
08:55And very effective from Bosch to pick up four.
09:02Oh, he timed it too well.
09:05Timed it too well to reach that fielder.
09:09Who did a grand job to hold on to that one.
09:13Yeah, I wanted to go maybe a little bit more squareer.
09:24Yeah, easily held.
09:25Beautifully held.
09:26Sliding and making sure that he grabbed the ball.
09:29And so, he's done.
09:31For 42, it's 228 for seven.
09:34Your man in.
09:35Beyond for 10.
09:40Oh, that's close.
09:41Rangan wrapped in front of the stumps.
09:43And I'm, I'm sure that he'll have to take the long walk back.
09:50He's asked for a review.
09:52Pitching outside off.
09:53Impact in line.
09:55Wicket's hitting.
09:57Shoycott, you can still have your original decision about.
10:01Looked absolutely out.
10:02When things were going live.
10:05Review taken.
10:06Not to be.
10:07South Africa lose a review.
10:09Lose a wicket.
10:10Not.
10:12Of just one delivery.
10:13228 for eight.
10:17Oh, that's gone.
10:18Into the gap.
10:20Four.
10:21Nicely struck by Bosch.
10:22Ah, beautiful shot.
10:28Really is one hell of a shot.
10:33Oh, bowling.
10:35Richly deserved this, Shaina Fridi.
10:38We saw the entire range of how to bowl in death overs.
10:42The Yorkers, the slow balls.
10:43The balls keeping away from the reach of the batsmen.
10:46Bosch has been striked out.
10:49Yeah, he's bowled so well.
10:51Shaheen Shah Fridi.
10:53In all of his spells.
10:57And he needed to be rewarded.
10:59But a good contribution from Bosch.
11:02Of 41 from 40 deliveries.
11:04262 for nine.
11:08Bold aim.
11:08Slow ball attempted and he's done.
11:10He's looking at the umpire.
11:12No dramas.
11:13No accidents.
11:14I think that's the end of the innings.
11:16Tremendous loss.
11:1755 balls.
11:1852 runs.
11:19Four wickets for Pakistan.
11:21And this was beautifully done.
11:22Off Qatar.
11:25Yeah, off late.
11:26He's been over-relying on these slow deliveries.
11:29And he has picked many wickets with those slow deliveries.
11:35He bowled magnificently.
11:36Led them from the front.
11:38Tremendous results for Pakistan in the death part of the innings.
11:43One time, South Africa was actually threatening Pakistan to breach 300 runs.
11:50But they managed well.
11:51But they managed well.
11:52Started to pick up wickets at the right intervals.
11:56And were able to restrict South Africa to 263.
12:01Which is, for me, gettable.
12:03Shahina Fridi was outstanding with the death part bowling effort.
12:08Naseem Shah picked up three.
12:10Three for Abrar.
12:11Two for Siam.
12:12One for Nawaz.
12:14Pakistan required 264 in their set of 50 overs.
12:24Open the bowling.
12:25Lunkasani in Giri for South Africa.
12:26Just goes over.
12:37And played it at the vertical bat phase and gets it over the inner ring for four.
12:46Clips it off at his legs and clips it away to the boundary for four.
12:50A couple of fours in Williams' first over.
12:56Touched two straight this time round.
12:59And through the hands of the fine fielder.
13:03Back-to-back boundaries for Pakistan.
13:09Not the line.
13:11Not the line.
13:12But Fakhar Zaman will take all of them coming his way.
13:17A swipe into the next side.
13:20And Fakhar Zaman on the charge.
13:26That's in the air.
13:28Into the gap.
13:31And a boundary scored.
13:35Oh, what a smash that is.
13:38Siam Ayoub.
13:40Has played a scintillating cut shot.
13:43The very best from him.
13:44Yeah, that's gone all the way for six.
13:53To the pitch and crashed it.
13:55Over the rope.
13:56For a magnificent six.
13:58This time he's played one.
14:04It gets it over.
14:06That fielder's head.
14:07He's trying to throw it back into play.
14:12Oh, almost got a good result there.
14:15The slick slip was in for that top edge.
14:18This time it's a four full length dive.
14:20By Pretorius.
14:27That's been really hit hard.
14:29Belted down the ground.
14:32George Linder almost just gets out of the way.
14:34Picks up forward as Fakhar Zaman.
14:35Quicker through the air.
14:41Finger goes up as well.
14:44Maybe a slight discussion will happen.
14:46Whether it was sliding down.
14:48But our naked eye seems like he's been trapped in front.
14:54We will have a look.
14:56It's time to throw this upstairs to the TV umpire.
14:58Pitching outside off.
15:00Impact in line.
15:02And wickets hitting.
15:04Chokot can steal the original decision of out.
15:06Three reds.
15:08And the finger for confirmation will go up again.
15:10Pakistan lose a review.
15:12And lose their first wicket.
15:14Sai Mayuk.
15:15Handy knock that off.
15:1639 walks back.
15:17Pakistan 87 for one.
15:23Turn the volume up on your television screens.
15:26You will know why the crowd is roaring.
15:28You will know why the crowd is going to get off the mark with a four.
15:44Smack that.
15:47What a strike from Fakhar Zaman.
15:49The Fesabath crowd have plenty to rejoice.
15:53Another six pings of the bat of Fakhar.
15:55The charge catches the call.
16:00Catch has been taken.
16:01Beyond 14 takes a boundary catch.
16:05And a massive wicket in the context.
16:0745 for Fakhar.
16:08But he has to go.
16:10Back to back wickets of the openers.
16:12Fakhar Zaman, he was certainly set.
16:15An option that he's found great success with thus far in the innings.
16:19But on that occasion, doesn't get the elevation elation for the bowler in Ferreira.
16:26He gets his second.
16:28Fakhar Zaman, he goes from 45.
16:29Pakistan 102 for two.
16:31Mohamed Rizwan in at four.
16:37Trapped in front.
16:39Is it in straight?
16:40Yes, it is.
16:43What a big wicket in the cheer for the South African men.
16:46He's renowned for wicket to wicket.
16:48Not a massive turn of the ball.
16:51Hits the bird and just skids on beautifully.
16:55Confirmation from his partner.
16:57Hitting wicket to wicket.
16:59South Africa on top.
17:02Three down now, 405.
17:04Out walks the T20 national skip of Pakistan, Salman Aliaga.
17:12Shot making.
17:13That's beautifully played away for four.
17:14What a shot that is.
17:16Wonderful piece of timing.
17:18Picking the line early and hitting it square for four.
17:25Cut shot into the gap.
17:28Runs away from the fielder.
17:29Such a nice connection and a welcome relief for Salman Aliaga.
17:34A little bit of width provided and made use of.
17:40Nicely played into the gap.
17:42That's gone all the way for four.
17:44Great piece of timing and placement.
17:45Rizwan wants them there.
17:52There's the drive into the gap.
17:54That is a brilliant stroke.
17:55Freeing his arms and letting it go smoothly through the offside.
18:04That's high in the air.
18:08Into the gap.
18:11Well earned boundary.
18:16Clips into the next side.
18:18Very fine and four.
18:20Will also bring up the 50 partnership.
18:2353 of 61 now.
18:25That's picked up nicely.
18:30Went down early.
18:31Length pickup was good.
18:34He picks up four on the first delivery.
18:40Banged.
18:42Absolutely crunched to the offside.
18:44Plays it away from the infield for a couple of runs.
18:54Runs back.
18:56And I'm sure that he would absolutely love this knock.
19:00Raises his hands to the gallery, to the audience.
19:09Look a lot more resolute.
19:12Look a lot more consistent with his strategy and game plan.
19:16Oh, that's a big hit.
19:23Is it a big hit?
19:24That's beautifully held.
19:26Pretorius there with a wonderful catch.
19:28He's signalling out.
19:31He must have been blinded for a little while.
19:34And then had to adjust.
19:36Took a great low catch.
19:38To dismiss dangerous Rizwan.
19:41Very good innings by Mohamed Rizwan.
19:43He goes for 55.
19:44Pakistan.
19:451-9-6 for 4.
19:46Hussein Talat is a new batsman in.
19:55Beautifully done through the offside.
19:56That's a cracking cover drive.
19:58Everything so right about it.
20:00Picked the speedy ball.
20:02Ball at a faster pace.
20:04In the slot and driven gracefully.
20:09That's in the air.
20:11Clears everything.
20:13He tried similar kind of a stroke
20:15with the previous delivery.
20:17But the length was fuller.
20:18That's why he wasn't able to hit the ball aerial.
20:21But slightly back of the length
20:23helped Salman Aliaga to execute that stroke.
20:27Yeah, and what a way to go to his half century this evening.
20:33Oh, he's gone airborne.
20:35But I think he's picked the gap on the leg side.
20:37A couple of bounces.
20:39And this will ease the pressure of this run chase.
20:40Longhi has been able to create an impression
20:48with that slow delivery.
20:52Yeah, he's outfoxed.
20:54Hussein, yeah.
20:55It's that slower ball.
20:57He doesn't slow his arm exit down at all.
21:00Hussein reaching forward.
21:01And this is an excellent catch by George Linder.
21:03Having to dive forward.
21:04Yeah, many would argue maybe a little too late.
21:07But nonetheless, Hussein goes for 22.
21:10Pakistan 241 for 5.
21:13To decrease then.
21:14Hassan Nawaz.
21:18Oh, he's gone.
21:19He is gone.
21:20Once again,
21:22intemperate style of batting
21:24was Hassan Nawaz's downfall.
21:26He doesn't believe in slobbing out.
21:31Somehow he's impelled to play his strokes once again.
21:34Deceived by the flight
21:36and also a lot of turn for the spinner.
21:40Yeah, fantastic piece of bowling by George Linder.
21:42Game of cat and mouse continues.
21:44Nawaz gone for one.
21:45Pakistan 244 for 6.
21:48From the one Nawaz
21:49to the second.
21:51Mohammed Nawaz to the crease for Pakistan.
21:52Oh, that is some sort.
21:58It's advanced out of tracking.
21:59He's going to pick up a boundary.
22:03Smear that over the offside
22:04and also bring up the 250 for Pakistan.
22:09Oh, he's gone with the slobbing.
22:11He's either high up in the night sky.
22:12Catch.
22:13The cries of catch.
22:14Yes, he's got it.
22:16And it's Donovan Ferreiro
22:18who takes the catch.
22:19Makes you wonder
22:24why he offered some pace
22:25with Salman Aliaga
22:26if the slobbing ones were working.
22:29Yeah, it's certainly the ball
22:30that proved to be effective this evening
22:32but that is some catch
22:34from Donovan Ferreiro.
22:35Had to cover a lot of yards.
22:38Yes, and that's what it means.
22:40A bit of hope,
22:41a bit of belief for South Africa.
22:42Salman Ali Ali Khan
22:44makes way for 62.
22:45Pakistan 2-5, 2-4-7.
22:46Kept them to the crease.
22:53That's his ability.
22:55Yes.
22:57He played few top deliveries.
22:59He was waiting for the ball
23:00to come to his zone
23:01and he was ready for it.
23:03Pounced on it.
23:04Made the equation
23:05very easy for Pakistan.
23:06Ladies and gentlemen,
23:14don't leave your seats as yet.
23:18Because that is the wicket
23:19of Mohamed Nawaz.
23:21And what a moment
23:22to lose your wicket.
23:23Yeah, turn the face
23:28of the bat a bit too early.
23:31An easy catch
23:32for 14.
23:36Nawaz goes for 9.
23:37Pakistan 2-6-3-4-8.
23:41Nassim Saar
23:42with one run to get
23:43for his country.
23:44Oh, that is straight.
23:48But not straight enough
23:49says the umpire.
23:50And what South Africa
23:51has got no reviews left
23:53means Pakistan
23:55crossed the line of victory.
23:58They draw first blood
23:59in this three-match ODI series.
24:03And they go victorious
24:04by two wickets here
24:05and Faisal Abad.
24:05For some
24:09it might not be convincing
24:11but win is a win.
24:13And that's a very good start
24:14for Shaheen Shah Afridi
24:15as a captain.
24:17Made the right calls
24:19and congratulations
24:21to Pakistan.
24:24And that's how
24:25the innings of Pakistan
24:27panned out.
24:28Good opening partnership
24:29set the tone.
24:31Few starters
24:31but that partnership
24:32we were alluding to
24:34between Rizwan
24:35and Salman
24:36made a huge difference.
24:38To turn the game
24:39in South Africa's favour
24:41the usage of the new ball
24:43was of highest importance.
24:46But it wasn't effective.
24:49Created a lot of pressure
24:50on the spinners
24:51who did ball well
24:52but not good enough
24:53to win the game
24:55for South Africa.
24:56It was South Africa
24:57who has been inserted
24:58once again in the series.
25:002-63.
25:01That's what they managed to get.
25:02The Cox-63
25:03Pretorius-57.
25:04They were the standout
