What a match this has turned out to be! Pakistan's winning streak ends on 9 matches. South Africa win a rare T20I at Newlands. 192 was never going to be a comfortable total for South Africa to defend, and Pakistan ensured the hosts weren't sitting secured till the last ball of the match. Shoaib Malik played a fine role but David Miller's excellence on the field eventually made the difference. 4 catches and 2 superb run outs in the field as South Africa won by 6 runs.

16 needed off the last over.

David Miller is in a killer form on the field. He didn't contribute much with the bat today but he has already effected two runs out and took a catch in the deep. All top stuff.

While Shoaib Malik is keeping Pakistan in the chase, he is running out of partners. Faheem Ashraf becomes South Africa's latest scalp.

Asif Ali and Imad Wasim don't last too long. In a bid to go for the big shots, they are dismissed. Pakistan's chase is going off track here.

Tabraiz Shamsi strikes! The wicket was coming. Hussain Talat, in his bid to clear the fence, holes out to the fielder at long on. The second wicket stand ends on 42.

Andile Phehlukwayo and Tabraiz Shamsi have pulled the run rate back, conceding only 19 runs from three overs. The settled duo is struggling to put the balls away. Yet again, it is the lack of pace which is proving to be the undoing of the batsmen.
