A concerted batting effort and great spin bowling earned Pakistan a well-deserved four-wicket win within the third T20 in Lahore that gave them the T20 sequence win towards the Proteas.

SCORECARD | Pakistan v Proteas, third T20

Pakistan overhauled South Africa’s 164/8 in 18.4 overs, with 44 from Babar Azam and 42 from Mohammad underpinning Pakistan’s chase.

Hassan Ali and Mohammad Nawaz then took Pakistan house within the nineteenth overs the place they capitalised on Andile Phehlukwayo’s errant nineteenth over.

The sport although was arrange by Pakistan’s spinners, who diminished SA’s high order to mud, however allowed David Miller (85*) to provide the vacationers some hope.

Miller’s third T20 fifty rescued South Africa from a dangerous 48/6 to a decent complete of their 20 overs.

Miller, who’s 50 got here off 31 balls, cajoled 116 runs from the final three wickets after the capitulation towards spin left the Proteas innings lower off on the knees.

Six of the primary seven wickets fell to spin, with Zahid Mahmood, Mohammad Nawaz and Usman Qadir all feasting towards and timid and leaden-footed batting unit.

Whereas Miller’s get well job began with the 17-run partnership with Dwaine Pretorius, it was the 41 and 58-run alliances with Bjorn Fortin and Lutho Sipamla that actually sparked SA into life.

Miller’s keep ensured South Africa scored 104 runs from their final 10 overs, ensuring that Janneman Malan’s early aggression when he made 27 wasn’t wasted.

Their scores had been the one ones above 20 in what was a limp-wristed batting effort from the guests regardless of Miller’s pyrotechnics.
