Pakistan defeat South Africa in 3rd T20I by 27 runs to finish tour with consolation victory

i must say, despite all the heaving and runnin....its a pedestrian runrate by darth vader...still i think he was really beginning to open up in the last 8 deliveries. timely dismissal.
 
Two of my favorite South Africans (in this lineup today) at the crease. Dussen is the type of player that can take South Africa over the line in knockouts, and I have plenty of time for Phehlukwayo as well.
Not many players make it big in internationals after debuting at 29, unless u are a hussey.
Just a good series and to rate him as the next big thing is childish
 
Finally playing like number one ranked side, after the horror show in last two matches.


Not playing Shi!wari was a masterstroke, not even gully mohallah level.
 
3 times Captain inserted opponents, and looks like 3 wins by side batting first - probably exposes the batting limitation by both teams. SAF in general is a chasing venue in T20s.
 
Guys if we win this match is CT still fluke?

Every career has a different story.

Not everyone has to play for 15 years and break records. If he can have 5-6 very good years for South Africa, it is still something to be proud of.

Playing international cricket is a dream for every professional cricket. He got his break late and he is trying to make the most of it.
 
Phehlik really? That guy was put on a pedestal by Pak but he's mediocre. Agree with Van Dussen. Whadda playa

Phehlukwayo has character. If South Africa persist with him he will come good.
 
I am fearful for SSA getting injured, he has been diving too much on the field today..
 
Had too much to do today, but he doesn’t crack. Needs to be part of the next Test squad.

Yep, he's been amazing. Some luck though. But we all know, you make your own luck.

I think faf should become a selector once he retires...not for the money...but because he understands character...

We have an amazing line of coaches and administrators coming. Can you imagine AB coaching some teenagers? Pakistan would be wise to snatch them up before India does.
 
Babar should have been the one to catch it.
Shaheen aint the best fielder.

AB Coaching maybe...not sure about the mental conditioning. its an opinion...one i cant defend..but i have my doubts.
 
Shadab hai won this game almost by himself. First in batting now in bowling lol
 
I hope Shaheen doesn’t get inspired by the Show-off Group. Needs to cut down the theatrics in the field and preserve himself.
 
When Shadab bowls his googly, he looks like a world-class bowler.
 
This rule needs to be changed - if you play reverse sweep, "Pitching out-side leg", should also reverse.
 
Even people on cricinfo are asking if Ramiz is retiring as commentator :)))
 
Morris trying to keep his spot for next series before he gets out
