Over 20. 14 runs. Bowler: Faheem Ashraf. South Africa: 139/9(rr 6.95)

Faheem Ashraf to Corbin Bosch. Off cutter length ball, wide outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed for no runs, fielded by Farhan. Pakistan have restricted South Africa to a below-par total after opting to bowl first. Shaheen Afridi struck twice in the first over, removing Quinton de Kock and Lhuan-dre Pretorius for ducks. Reeza Hendricks and Dewald Brevis steadied the innings with a brief recovery, but once Brevis departed, South Africa found themselves under pressure again. Donovan Ferreira provided some resistance with a spirited counterattack in the middle overs, yet Pakistan's bowlers kept the control, Faheem Ashraf and Usman Tariq with two wickets backing up Afridi who finished with three. Corbin Bosch's cameo took South Africa to their final total, but will it be enough, or will Pakistan chase it down and seal the series? Stay tuned for what promises to be an exciting second innings!

Andile Simelane to Usman Khan. Short, wide down leg side on the back foot pulling, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Breetzke. Pakistan seal the series with a commanding four-wicket victory in this deciding contest, completing a fine turnaround after a dramatic loss in the opening game. They executed their plans perfectly, outplaying South Africa in all three departments. While Saim Ayub fell early, Babar Azam anchored the chase brilliantly, supported by Salman Ali Agha, the pair's 76 run partnership the backbone of the chase. Both fell, as the hosts suffered a late wobble, losing four wickets, Corbin Bosch and Lizaad Williams with two apiece, but it wasn't enough as victory was wrapped up with an over to spare. Babar Azam is the Player of the Match and Faheem Ashraf is the Player of the Series.
