Analysis:
South Africa, in spite of not having their main players, staged a fantastic comeback and levelled the series, after going 0-1 down in the first T20I. South Africa bowlers bowled beautifully and did not give the Pakistani batsmen any freedom to score runs. George Linde and Lizaad Williams took 3 wickets each and orchestrated a fantastic bowling performance. The batsmen were in their elements and chased down the average total of 140 with absolute ease. They finished it with 36 balls remaining. Aiden Markram top-scored with 54 runs and is a marquee player for this game.
Pakistan looked sloppy in this game and had to eventually pay their price. Openers failed to give them a good start and that was a reflection of the team’s performance. Star player Moahmmad Rizwan got out for a golden duck and Sharjeel Khan managed to muster only 8 runs. Skipper Babar Azam rose to the occasion and plundered 50 runs before being cleaned up by a Sisanda Magala's delivery. Usman Qadir then tried to defend the total by picking up 2 wickets but 140 was too less to defend and Pakistan eventually lost to the Proteas.
