00:00We want more Faslabad, definitely want more of this ODI series.
00:15We are here once again to present to you KFC, Vigotel Mobile ODI series,
00:21second ODI from Iqbal Stadium, Faslabad.
00:24The toss was won once again by Pakistan.
00:27Shahin Shah, Freedy calling correctly.
00:30And so they've decided to bat first.
00:33Pakistan have made two changes.
00:35Vaseem Jr. gets a go.
00:37Faheem Ashraf gets his position back in the playing 11.
00:41They've made two changes.
00:43Naba Peter, he comes into the fold, as well as Nandre Berger.
00:50Right, ladies and gentlemen, we're just about ready to go.
00:53Oh, there's a wider angle down the lakeside and straightaway, Ehsan Raza is in business.
01:06Off the glove and taken.
01:08Finger has gone up, I think.
01:11He is done for the afternoon.
01:14Fakhar Zaman is going to confer with his partner, but I thought there's a little bit of glove.
01:19And then the body, and I think he's been asked to leave by his partner as well.
01:24This is a massive blow.
01:28Yeah, and this is exactly what Nandre Berger brings to the party.
01:31That bit of extra pace.
01:34Getting Fakhar Zaman off guard.
01:35Not expecting the short one as early on.
01:38And that's a massive blow for South Africa, but an even bigger blow for Pakistan.
01:41Right, then, Baba Razum is in.
01:53Shot.
01:55Delightful.
01:57Gorgeous cover drive from Saima Yud.
02:04Edge and beautifully held.
02:06What a take that is.
02:07The ball was flying in.
02:09You see the baller all pumped up.
02:11Yeah, and this is the beauty of pace.
02:17Squared him up, but how's that four cats at first slip?
02:20Nandre pumped up.
02:22He picks up his second.
02:24Baba, he goes for a brief stay.
02:26Pakistan 17 for two.
02:29There are champions innings in the last ODI.
02:31Mohamed Rizwan is in.
02:36That's gone through Miran for runs.
02:38Just a tap.
02:39Rizwan lending his balance.
02:41Into that drive and wonderfully played for four.
02:44Off the mark with a special shot.
02:49Oh, Bole.
02:50Very iffy.
02:52Berger has picked up three.
02:54And it's the big scalp of Rizwan.
02:56Gingerly across.
02:57Massive inside edge.
02:58And the stumps are shattered.
03:02And this is the effect of the bouncer.
03:04He's plotted that seed of doubt.
03:06Unsure whether to let it go.
03:09With the very last second.
03:11And under heads onto the stumps.
03:12But it's about the energy that this young man is bringing to the party today in Andre Berger.
03:18Yeah, he's looking for hope from somewhere else.
03:22Mohamed Rizwan, he makes way for four.
03:23Pakistan nine.
03:24A bit of trouble at 22 for three.
03:25Salman Aliaga walks in when the team is going through a bit of a strife.
03:36Flicks it away off his hips and flicks it away well for four.
03:41A period of nine consecutive dot balls dealt with the boundary from Saim.
03:44Tossed up delivery and Saim Ayoub obliges.
03:54Another four to his tally.
04:01That's into the gap.
04:02That's a welcome four.
04:05First boundary after 25 balls.
04:11Goes over the infield for four.
04:13In the slot and this time no hesitation whatsoever.
04:16It was a smooth flow of the willow that got the ball across to the fence.
04:24Goes big.
04:26Cracks it.
04:28Really nice shot.
04:29Above the eye line.
04:31The length was there for him to free his arms.
04:34And execution perfection.
04:40That's an excellent shot from Saim Ayoub.
04:43Picking the gap on the offside.
04:45And that boundary also brings up the hundred for Pakistan.
04:51Top stuff.
04:53Top knock from a fine prospect for Pakistan.
04:55Second ODI half century.
04:58Applauded by the dugout to match three hundreds he already has in the format.
05:05Yeah, it's an innings of great maturity from the youngster.
05:07Tossed up and dealt with one bounce.
05:17Waken mid-wicket area.
05:19And Salman Aliaga will pick up a second boundary.
05:21That's an excellent shot.
05:27Has he taken that?
05:29We call upon Corbin Bosch to make the breakthrough.
05:32And he's done just that.
05:33By picking up the all-important rickets of Saim Ayoub.
05:37Maybe just held the pace slightly back.
05:42Great catch.
05:43Threw the shot a little bit earlier, Saim Ayoub.
05:47And the timing means his demise as well.
05:51Corbin Bosch with the breakthrough.
05:52Much-needed breakthrough.
05:53But not after.
05:54Saim Ayoub has played a good knock of 53.
05:56Hussain Talat in at six.
06:02Yeah, beautiful evening here in Faisalabad.
06:03The sun sets.
06:05Much clearer evening.
06:10Nicely played.
06:13Touch two straight.
06:14Hussain Talat picks up four.
06:19Oh, soft dismissal.
06:22It's the soft dismissal.
06:24And spin working for South Africa.
06:27Trying to push the ball back.
06:29Found the bowler.
06:30And he'll be bitterly disappointed.
06:32Hussain Talat has perished.
06:34Yeah, as a batter.
06:36When a leggy is in action,
06:39you have to pick up those goglies.
06:41And top spinner.
06:42That was a top spinner.
06:44And a simple catch.
06:46It's Hussain Talat.
06:48Who's walking back dejectedly.
06:51To the rescue once again is Mohamed Nawaz.
06:54He's 31 years old.
07:00You know, you have to protect your partner
07:02who has arrived at the crease just now.
07:06You have to take charge.
07:08And he's looking to do so with that boundary.
07:14Drives.
07:15He's asked for two.
07:17He'll get a couple.
07:18And there's a huge row because he's achieved a milestone here.
07:24Really well fought Salman Aliaga.
07:26Absolutely deserving all the applause.
07:30But his mission is not accomplishing.
07:32He's got to just carry on for a longer period.
07:35He's got to do so.
07:36And...
07:36He's got to do so.
07:36And...
07:37No slips for...
07:39Nawaz with terrific bat speed.
07:45He would have enjoyed it.
07:50There's the big shot.
07:51And it's a fantastic shot on the bounce over the rope.
07:54Picked it up early so that he could create that angle over mid-wicket.
07:58A slog sweep.
08:02Picked shot.
08:04Dances down the track and dances and gets six for it.
08:08Muhammad Nawaz with the charge and the very first delivery to 14.
08:13And does so with great effect against Bjorn Fautain.
08:17Meets the pitch.
08:19And a free flow of the bat and a maximum.
08:22Much needed for Pakistan.
08:23Big shot.
08:31Does this have the distance?
08:33Just about.
08:35Clears Donovan Ferreira on the fence once again.
08:37Nawaz hits the first ball to the boundary.
08:45That will help.
08:47Certainly will help.
08:48One bounce.
08:49Clears the offside.
08:50Picks up four.
08:53Pulled him.
08:59What a reply from Bosch.
09:00He likes it.
09:02South Africa had the much needed breakthrough.
09:05190 for six.
09:07He felt that momentum was clearly with Pakistan in this over.
09:12Two boundaries already.
09:14But the last ball does the trick.
09:16He has the last laugh.
09:18Does Koppenbosch.
09:19It's been a while played innings by Salman Ali Aga.
09:24The crowd cheers on Fahim Ashraf.
09:33Chipped in the air just over.
09:36And even better for Fahim Ashraf.
09:39Gets off the mark with a four through the offside.
09:46Brilliant shot.
09:47Great bat plane coming through the line of the ball.
09:51Nawaz keeps marching on.
10:00Short ball put away to the gap.
10:04That makes it to the fence.
10:06Now Fahim's strike rate is pretty impressive in the last four overs of an ODI.
10:11He goes at a strike rate of over 120.
10:17That's got up in the air and that's travelled.
10:20That's gone all the way.
10:22Timely six.
10:23And effortlessly played.
10:25By Fahim Ashraf.
10:26This is the momentum that they were after.
10:29It's been pitched up.
10:30It was picked.
10:32And he's hit this many a mile in the air.
10:34Oh, that's some shot.
10:40That really is a cracking six.
10:42The moment it left the bat, it was always going to sail over the fence.
10:47Tremendous start to the over.
10:52Put away and finds the fielder.
10:56Down his throat.
10:57Pretorius takes a good one.
10:58Yeah, a real small cricket from Nandre Berger.
11:03Understanding what the batter's after.
11:05They're after a bit of pace.
11:07He's taken all the pace of that.
11:08Slow into the surface.
11:10Lohandre Pretorius sets himself.
11:13He gets an important wicket at this juncture of the game.
11:18Quick through the air.
11:19That's skied up in the air.
11:20Chance for the bowler himself.
11:22Takes a catch.
11:23Picks up a wicket.
11:26Sainz are afraid.
11:27No, he's absolutely no muck with a bat.
11:30He's always going to look for the big hits.
11:32But his job right here was to get Mohamed Nawaz back on strike.
11:37Excellent piece of bowling by Nava Peter.
11:40Understanding he was going to come off to him.
11:42He picks up his second for the night.
11:44Afridi goes for one.
11:45Pakistan, two, three, four, fight.
11:49There's that Yarkar.
11:50And it's a top spin.
11:53Forehand for four.
11:54This wasn't supposed to end up where it did.
11:58But somehow, he's managed a boundary and he's loving it.
12:04Inside edge.
12:05Gets it past the infield for four.
12:07So he's hitting various zones.
12:12Ball's a wide one.
12:13That's gone all the way.
12:14It's a gigantic six.
12:15It really is a smash and a half.
12:17Yeah, and this is the zone you want to try and avoid against a play of the caliber of Mohamed Nawaz.
12:23That's in the arc.
12:24This time, he'll go for four.
12:30Inside edge.
12:31Sweep shot attempted.
12:34He'll raise his bat to his mates, to the fans here.
12:38Pakistani flag is fluttering because Nawaz has got a 50.
12:45Second 50 for him in ODIs.
12:47Oh, yes, sir.
12:52That made a great sound.
12:56Absolutely nailed it, Nawaz.
12:58And he's playing a blinder.
13:00Remarkable hitting.
13:02Six, four, and now a six again.
13:05Yeah, this is what he's known for.
13:07High up in the air.
13:12It's the catch for Peter.
13:15And it's Peter the Great.
13:18But Nawaz has done his job.
13:21They had a great innings.
13:2259 of 59.
13:25Yeah, it's another brave delivery.
13:27He's giving it a bit of air.
13:28Mohamed Nawaz trying to muscle this, but could only find a leading edge.
13:33Without any hesitation.
13:35But Peter said, it's mine.
13:37And that is the way that the Pakistan innings comes to an end this evening.
13:43One ball left in the innings.
13:452.63 for nine.
13:46Here we go.
13:47Nassim Shah comes out of the crease.
13:50Absolutely destroys it down the ground.
13:53What a fairytale end to the innings.
13:5722 runs in that OWA.
14:00Crowds are up in the aisles.
14:03Yeah, the last 10 overs yielding 90 runs.
14:06And that might just be the chains in momentum for Pakistan that they were after.
14:122.69 for nine.
14:14They've got runs on the board.
14:15And the architect of the innings clearly was Salman Aliaga who played very sensibly in the middle phase of the innings to get 69.
14:22And then Nawaz, 59 of 59 balls.
14:25Faheem played a lovely hand as well.
14:2728 of 18.
14:29The same junior with a quick fight, 12.
14:32And Nassim Shah ending the innings with a six.
14:35Nandre Berger, he's been impressive all around this evening.
14:38No matter what stage of the game, he bowled.
14:41Picked up the three in the first power play.
14:44And then well supported by Corbin Bosch.
14:46While the spinners, they weren't at great effect on this surface.
14:50But three for 55 for Nava Peter.
14:53And he'll take a lot of confidence out of this contest.
14:55Yes, Pakistan then getting 269 and South Africa need 270 of 50 overs at 5.4 knot RPO.
15:15We'll start proceedings with a slip.
15:18Chase is on.
15:21It's an inside edge.
15:25This time he does get it through.
15:32A juicy full toss and Pretorius obliges with a four.
15:39Lovely.
15:40This is sublime batting from young Pretorius.
15:43Some timing on that shot.
15:50Absolutely brilliant.
15:52Some way to end the over.
15:54Three fours.
15:55Pretorius is charging on.
15:5715 for no loss.
16:01Brilliant timing on that.
16:04And top placement as well from Quinton de Kock.
16:07He picks up his first four for the night.
16:12Chipped back.
16:13Oh, put down.
16:15Nassim Shah on the second try.
16:17Unable to grab.
16:19And an opportunity gone.
16:21A begging.
16:21Oh, nice.
16:27Went all the way.
16:35Climbing once again.
16:37Very good.
16:38And will have the legs to race into the fence.
16:41Vider of the stumps.
16:45That is punished for four.
16:47Picked up the length early.
16:53That's a fantastic sweep shot by Quinton de Kock.
16:55And brings up the 50 for South Africa.
16:57Oh, that's whipped chance.
17:04Almost took a blinder.
17:06Mohamed Nawaz.
17:07He hasn't missed many.
17:07Oh, that is hammered.
17:12That really is hammered.
17:14Pass point.
17:18Oh, that is muscle for six.
17:22That willow made a cracking sound.
17:25Oh, that smashed for six.
17:29Straight down the ground.
17:31It's a heavyweight shot.
17:33And he is not going to stop himself.
17:36Oh, it's taken.
17:38Caught behind.
17:39It finally works for Vaseem Jr.
17:42The angle taken care by.
17:45Rizwan with a diving catch.
17:48Fantastic bounce back ability for Mohamed.
17:49Vaseem Jr.
17:51He took a bit of tap earlier.
17:52But it's the length which is so impressive.
17:55He has that natural ability to take the ball across the left-hand.
18:00Loandre Petorius.
18:01He saw it.
18:01His eyes lit up.
18:03He went driving.
18:04Only to find out.
18:05So that's a fantastic catch taken by Rizwan.
18:09Petorius go for 46.
18:10South Africa 81 for 1.
18:12It's the household once again.
18:13And thank you, Faisalabad.
18:15You've turned up in numbers.
18:19Tossed wide.
18:20Catch it is the call.
18:21The fielder will have to clean up job beyond the fence.
18:29Picked up.
18:30Watch this sail into Faisalabad's crowd.
18:34Quinton de Kock in some style gets another half century to his name.
18:3932nd in ODI Internationals.
18:41Release shot.
18:47And comes off nicely.
18:49Picked up by De Zorzi for 4.
18:55Chipped into the left side.
18:58Bisects the fielders on that occasion again.
19:01Crunched into the left side.
19:05Quinton de Kock is holding this chase in his hands.
19:10Gives it the kitchen sink.
19:16And gets 6 footed.
19:17Well taken outside the fence.
19:2050 partnership.
19:22South Africa running away with this at this moment.
19:24Oh, that's gone through for 4.
19:32It was an awkward bounce for the fielder to deal with.
19:36Nicely struck.
19:40Oh, that's pulled for 6.
19:42Picked up the lengths early.
19:44And it was a massive hit.
19:451.50 comes up.
19:52In the slot.
19:53And that ball has travelled.
19:58Grade over for the Proteus.
20:00They pick up 17 runs in that Nawaz's first over.
20:07Sliced.
20:09And the ball will spin away.
20:11Hitting the fence away from the two fieldsmen.
20:15Nice.
20:18Beautiful shot.
20:19Really is a classical drive from De Souze.
20:26But at the right time, you come out with these strokes.
20:29What a hit.
20:31Gets a 50.
20:35It is now becoming a blistering innings.
20:42Oh, that is a very good shot.
20:44That bat is making a great sound.
20:48De Kock is batting beautifully.
20:50This innings is flowing.
20:51Shain Afridi is under pressure.
20:55This one is lifted for a grand six.
21:00This is seriously good from De Kock.
21:03100 partnership is raised.
21:04Shain Shah Afridi is under the kosh.
21:06That's taken care of over cover.
21:15Beautiful hit.
21:16Hit it with the spin.
21:19And De Kock is in that murderous mood that he's not going to stop himself.
21:22That's not going to be a chance inside the field.
21:28Outside.
21:29A raining boundaries here this time.
21:32The 10-6 in the chase.
21:34Courtesy de Souze.
21:38Glorious.
21:39Absolutely glorious from De Kock.
21:46Through the inner field.
21:49And you feel there's an opportunity for Quentin De Kock to get his triple figures.
21:55And he does so.
21:56And what a comeback to international cricket for Quentin De Kock.
22:02He's 22nd in ODI Internationals.
22:08His second against Pakistan.
22:17Charges.
22:18Pierces the gap and picks up four.
22:20Once again, excellent ball striking from De Souze.
22:24That will help.
22:30Certainly will help.
22:3175 now.
22:32He only requires 25.
22:38Leading edge straight to the hands.
22:40Tony De Souze after an extremely well-crafted 76.
22:44Goes back as Syma Youp takes that catch.
22:48Yeah, pat on the back from Quentin De Kock.
22:50It's been an outstanding partnership.
22:52153 of 137.
22:56But take nothing away from that man, Tony De Souze.
23:01He's shown pure class tonight.
23:04And no doubt he'll be bitterly disappointed.
23:06Wanting to be there at the end.
23:08He goes for 76.
23:09South African captain Matthew Bretzky walks out into the middle.
23:17Wow!
23:18If you heard the noise of the blade that were suggested that it was going to travel a long way.
23:25Oh, the sound of the bat of Quentin De Kock.
23:35That is another magnificent pull shot over mid-wicket for boundary.
23:39Yeah, a bit of worth an offer.
23:44And the captain's knocking the miss out.
23:45He's helping himself to...
23:48A boundary on the offside.
23:50He's first for tonight.
23:51Oh, he's beaten him all the ends up.
23:57But an outside edge takes South African to victory.
24:03It was a victory that was well led by Quentin De Kock on his return to International Colours.
24:09He has been the architect behind this masterpiece of a run chase here this evening in ODI number two.
24:18This victory also means that it's the biggest, the joint biggest win for South Africa over Pakistan in Pakistan in terms of wickets.
24:29Yeah, Quentin De Kock demonstrated how a total should be chased.
24:35You do not have to go berserk.
24:37You can afford to play conventional cricket and get your side over the line.
24:43But the Pakistan bowlers, they were under pressure.
24:45And we all knew if they couldn't strike in a power play with a set, Leandre Peturius and Quentin De Kock,
24:51they were going to suffer from the short.
24:53And those two batters really took the short to this Pakistan lineup.
24:58And this is the story of the game in a nutshell.
25:01South Africa comfortably over the line with eight wickets remaining.
25:07Thanks.
25:09We'll see you next time.
25:18We'll see you next time.
