After winning the toss, Pakistan decided to bat but failed to use this opportunity to score a defendable total. The opening of the match was shaky as they lost two of their batsmen in just the first 10 overs.

Pakistan’s skipper Babar Azam looked promising but lost his form early, scoring a total of 24 runs. At just the score of 41 runs, Pakistan lost its three most important and main batsmen, increasing the pressure on the rest of the players left.

Making the chances of winning the match quite slim for the team, as the bowling lineup of the South African team was aggressive in their style.

Dominant Chase

The South African cricket team had a dominant chase, but their start was a bit shaky as well. As they lost Reeza Hendricks very early at 19 runs only.

But unlike Pakistan, they were able to handle the situation well and perform greatly under pressure.

Then everything changed when Quinton de Kock came on the field. He is an experienced player when it comes to performing under pressure.

His playing style is composed and aggressive, which works best in times of pressure. In his partnership with Tony de Zorzi, they had a total of 153 runs, with 76 runs from Tony de Zorzi.
