Pakistan vs South Africa, 3rd T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Faheem Ashraf to Corbin Bosch, FOUR, hammered! Once again Ashraf goes short and slow into the wicket, Bosch delays his bat swing and nails the pull wide of long-on, struck flat and gave the fielder no chance

Faheem Ashraf to Corbin Bosch, FOUR, smashed! That's a good start to the over. Can Bosch get them past 140? Length delivery outside off, plenty of width on offer and Bosch smacks it straight back over Ashraf

Shaheen Afridi to Williams, out Caught by Nawaz!! Good take by Nawaz! Third wicket for Shaheen. Williams survived the previous delivery but not this time. Another slower delivery and Williams tries to heave it into the leg-side, chips it over mid-wicket and Nawaz races in from the deep, slides and manages to hold on with both hands. South Africa might be bowled out here. Williams c Nawaz b Shaheen Afridi 5(5)

Salman Mirza to Simelane, out Caught by Shaheen Afridi!! First wicket for Mirza. It is once again the change of pace that works for Mirza and Pakistan. Slower ball dug into the surface, Simelane takes it on but the ball does not arrive, flies off the top-edge towards deep backward square and Shaheen comes in to complete the catch. Simelane c Shaheen Afridi b Salman Mirza 13(10) [6s-1]

Shaheen Afridi to Simelane, SIX, whoa! Simelane has just smashed Shaheen Afridi over cover for a maximum. That was some hit! Shaheen goes back over the wicket and angles it across, there's width on offer and Simelane makes full use of it, he extends his arms and smokes it over deep extra cover

Shaheen Afridi to Corbin Bosch, 2 runs, angled into middle and leg, Bosch clips it into the empty mid-wicket pocket and scampers back for the second

Usman Tariq to Reeza Hendricks, out Caught by Hasan Nawaz!! Second wicket for Tariq. He gets rid of the set batter and South Africa slip further. Hendricks knew it was time to step on the acclerator and was playing few more shots, that's what brings about his downfall. He does well to get under this flighted delivery and slog sweeps it towards deep square leg, Nawaz runs to his left and takes a well-judged catch. Reeza Hendricks c Hasan Nawaz b Usman Tariq 34(36) [4s-2]

Faheem Ashraf to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR, not off the middle but South Africa won't mind how they come. Width on offer and Hendricks throws the kitchen sink, the outside edge flies over short third

Faheem Ashraf to Linde, out Caught by Hasan Nawaz!! Shaheen did it in the first over. Now Ashraf has down it in the 12th over - two in two. Ashraf is on a hat-trick. Soft dismissal! Linde played such a vital knock in the first game but he departs for a first-ball duck. Slower ball banged into the surface, Linde fetches the pull from outside off and hits it straight to mid-wicket, Hasan Nawaz didn't move an inch and reverse cups it safely. Linde c Hasan Nawaz b Faheem Ashraf 0(1)

Faheem Ashraf to Ferreira, out Caught by Salman Agha!! Gone! This is a massive wicket. Ferreira was on fire and taking the attack to Pakistan, but Ashraf has come back to send him packing. Smart bowling! Full and outside off as Ashraf spots Ferreira shuffle across, makes him reach for the big shot and it comes off the toe-end, Agha moves to his right at mid-off and gobbles it up. Ferreira c Salman Agha b Faheem Ashraf 29(14) [4s-1 6s-3]

Nawaz to Ferreira, SIX, geez! This is extraordinary hitting. Nawaz tries to keep it away from his arc and darts it outside off, but Ferreira uses his reach to good effect and thumps it flat over deep extra cover

Nawaz to Ferreira, FOUR, poor from Babar. Full and sliding in, Ferreira whips it wide of long-on and Babar gets around, dives and tries to flick the ball to Ayub, but ends up hitting himself and the ball rolls into the rope. Bit comical! But he made an absolute mess

Nawaz to Ferreira, SIX, ufff! That's another massive hit from Ferreira. Flighted delivery, drifts in on leg-stump, Ferreira clears his front leg and gets under the ball, pumps it high and well over long-on

Usman Tariq to Ferreira, SIX, monster hit! Ferreira had no problem reading that. It was the leg-break and Ferreira sits down to play the slog sweep, clean strike and the ball sails over deep mid-wicket. 87-meter maximum..

Nawaz to Breetzke, out Bowled!! Wow! That's a corker from Nawaz. South Africa have lost wickets in successive overs and find themselves four down. Flighted delivery, drifts in and lands around leg, so Breetzke presses forward with his front leg cleared and pushes, the ball straightens to beat the outside edge and hit the top of middle-stump. The drift made him play the wrong line and he paid the price. Breetzke b Nawaz 1(4)

Usman Tariq to Brevis, out Caught by Babar Azam!! Maiden T20I wicket for Tariq. Just takes him two balls to strike. The pause and deliver works wonders. Pakistan players come around to mob him. He has broken this partnership. It was the googly and the ball bounces more than Brevis expected, Brevis looks to pull and gets a top-edge, Babar comes in from long-on and takes a simple catch. Brevis c Babar Azam b Usman Tariq 21(22) [6s-2]

Nawaz to Brevis, SIX, second six in the over. That's a big one! Once again Nawaz drags it short and Brevis is not missing out, he rocks back and nails the pull towards long-on. 78-meter maximum..

Nawaz to Brevis, SIX, smashed! Finally a big shot. Brevis has been itching to clear the rope since his arrival. Dragged short and Brevis does not try to hit it against the spin, he flat-bats it down the ground and clears long-off comfortably

Shaheen Afridi to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR, lovely shot! Not a bad delivery by any stretch. Good length ball, not quite there for the drive and Hendricks does not overhit it, brings the bat down and times the pants off the push, the ball races away wide of mid-off

Shaheen Afridi to Brevis, no run, Brevis survives. This looked out the second he missed it. Even he was not sure whether to challenge the onfield call or not. Good thing that he did. On a length and nips in late, Brevis does not bring his bat down in time and is struck on the pad, the impact is above the knee roll and that's what saved him. Ball-tracking showed it to be going over..

Shaheen Afridi to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, out Caught by Usman Tariq!! Oh my! Two in two. Shaheen on a hat-trick. This is not a wicket-taking delivery but Shaheen and Pakistan are not complaining. Short of length and angling down, Pretorius stays inside the line and tries to help it along the way, clips it to short fine and Tariq takes a sharp catch on the edge of the circle. Lhuan-dre Pretorius c Usman Tariq b Shaheen Afridi 0(1)

Shaheen Afridi to de Kock, out Bowled!! What a start! Yesterday Hendricks and today de Kock. Both gone for second ball ducks. Switching their strike taking does not help. de Kock took strike today and he departs without opening his account. Good length ball, nips back in and de Kock attempts to cross-batted it into the off-side, gets a thick inside edge and the ball crashes into the stumps. Shaheen back in the side and back among early wickets. de Kock b Shaheen Afridi 0(2)
