South Africa Vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score - Live Score, 2nd T20I Match - Full Scorecard
South Africa
U Khan to van der Dussen, OUT! Superlative fielding to affect a run out! Shadab Khan it is. A slower ball from Usman, outside off, van der Dussen pats it behind point and sets off for a single. Hendricks responds but so does Shadab Khan. He comes charging in from point, gets to the ball, dives forward and attempts an under-arm flick. Bull's eye and the appeal is referred upstairs. Reeza is not short - he is gone by a mile. End of an enterprising partnership.
I Wasim to J Malan, OUT! STUMPED! The pressure tells on Malan! The guile of Imad Wasim gets the better of Janneman. Growing up in South Africa, you don't get exposed to quality spin often and Imad has exposed that factor. Keeps on building the pressure and then brings out the error. Flights this one outside off, Malan comes down the track but is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. Tries to sweep the ball, or rather slog sweep, but misses. Easy stumping for Mohammad Rizwan. The 58-run stand is broken.
S Afridi to van der Dussen, OUT! Caught! Afridi strikes first ball on return. This is a big wicket at this juncture. The dangerous van der Dussen is dismissed. Off a full toss - would you believe it? The angle and change in pace did him in. It is a slower one, wide outside off and for once, Rassie's selection of a shot goes wrong. The ball is going away from him, which means, a loft over cover would have made more sense. Instead, he goes leg side. Hits it straight up in the air and Imad Wasim makes no mistakes running across to his right from cover. A magnificent 27-ball 45 from RvdD on his home ground. Does that 175 go out of the window now?

Pakistan
B Hendricks to B Azam, OUT! Caught! No century for Babar Azam! Is there gonna be a twist in the tale? A short ball, around off, Azam looks for the pull but gets too much height on the ball. The pace taken off does not aid his cause either. The ball hits the top half of the bat and goes high in the air, but does not have enough on it to clear the fence. Simple catch for Junior Dala at wide long on. Fantastic 90 by Babar. But will it prove to be enough? 42 more needed from 23 balls...
B Hendricks to F Zaman, OUT! Caught at the boundary! Fakhar cannot believe it. He has literally thrown his wicket away. Not off a top edge, nor off an outside edge but holing out in the deep. A short ball and Zaman instinctively goes for the pull. Hits it well too. But to his dismay, he finds deep mid-wicket to perfection. Does not have to move an inch. FZ is disappointed but his team is off to a flier. 144 more needed from 96 balls. 10 from the over but a wicket for Hendricks. 2-0-24-1 so far.
C Morris to H Talat, OUT! DRAGS IT ON! The game and series are slipping away from Pakistan. Full and around off, coming in, Talat swings wildly but a touch too early. He only manages a thin contact on the ball and unfortunately for him, it is an inside edge. The ball deflects and crashes into the stumps. Talat departs for 55. Big wicket. 21 needed from 9...
A Phehlukwayo to A Ali, OUT! Asif holes out! A short ball, there to be hit, Ali pulls it with all his might but finds Reeza Hendricks to perfection at the mid-wicket fence! Are Pakistan actually choking here? 31 more needed and they are running out of time...
A Phehlukwayo to S Malik, OUT! Is that the game for South Africa? Malik is gone now and with that, the chances of Pakistan winning as well. A length ball, around off, Shoaib gives this the kitchen sink, heaving with all his might. Gets it high in the air but not quite the distance. Rassie van der Dussen waits for the ball to complete the parabolic trajectory at deep mid-wicket and takes it comfortably. Then exults! 9 needed from 2...
C Morris to I Wasim, OUT! The stumps are out of the ground! Second wicket in the over and both in the form of bowled. A length ball, outside off, coming in with the angle, Wasim has an almighty heave. But connects with thin air. The ball demolishes the stumps! Super over from Morris - 12 runs and 2 wickets. 3-0-36-2 for him.
A Phehlukwayo to H Ali, OUT! BOWLED! That is the end of the game, theoretically. Phehlukwayo started this over badly but is taking full control of the same. Keeps it full and straight, expecting Hasan Ali to slog and that is exactly what Hasan does. He misses, Phehlukwayo hits. Bang. At the base of leg stump. What a choke from Pakistan - 6/33 in 23 balls!
