give Pakistan victory.

   

  Johannesburg (News Hub update sports news) On the second day, South Africa defeated

Pak by 17 runs. When Pakistan started the innings, Imam-ul-Haq gave the wicket to Lungi Ngidi

in the second over of the innings. Fakhr Zaman was accompanied by the captain Babr Azam
and the two shared 63 runs for the second wicket. Babr, who scored a century in the last match,
came back in good form, but after scoring 31 runs Energy became Nokia's wicket.

The Pakistani team had not yet recovered when Muhammad Rizwan was caught in the slip
without opening his account by a single ball. Fakhr Zman along with Danish Aziz had raised the
score to 85 when the second ODI batsman Danish Aziz also lost heart. Asif Ali and Shadab Khan
returned to the pavilion after scoring 19 and 13 runs respectively. When Faheem Ashraf was out,
the Pakistani team had lost 7 wickets for 205 runs, and it seemed that maybe the Pakistani team
would return to the pavilion soon, but Fakhr Zman proved all estimates wrong.

Fakhr Zman shared a 68-run stand with Shaheen for the eighth wicket and also completed his
century. Shaheen's share in this partnership was 5 runs. Fakhr Zman did not team up with Haris
to take the score to 312 while Harris Rauf scored just one run. A few steps away from the double
century, Fakhr Zman was run out for showing slowness between the wickets and could not score
the second double century of his career.

Opening batsman Fakhr Zman played an innings of 193 off 155 balls with the help of 8 fours
and 10 sixes. Pakistan scored 324 for 9 in the allotted overs and South African won by 17 runs.
Thanks to the success in this cricket match, South Africa tied the three-match series 1-1. Earlier,
when South Africa started the innings, Aiden Mercrum and Quentin de Kock gave their team a
good start of 55 runs. Eden scored 39 off 34 balls, but Faheem Ashraf ended his innings.

Accompanying Quentin De Kock was captain Temba Bauma, and both batted responsibly
to increase the score, during which De Kock completed his half-century. The duo put up a

114 run stand for the second wicket, but Harris dropped 80 off 86 balls with the help of 10

fours, and a six to give Pakistan a second victory. Harris had a chance to take the wicket on

the next ball but Mohammad Rizwan, could not catch South African batsman Van Dawson.

Taking the advantage of the drop catch, Dawson quickly completed his half-century by playing
aggressive strokes around the wicket. He is a victim to Hasnain after playing 60 off 37balls.
Bauma could not score his first century and returned to the pavilion after playing an innings
of 92 runs. South Africa lost one wicket in a row in the final over from the other end,

helped South Africa to 341 for 6 in the allotted overs. Succeeded in scoring runs.
