So Pakistan need 381 to win. How many runs do you reckon Pakistan will score?
 
143 all out, Azhar Ali showing all his experience with a classy 66.
 
Pak 155 All out (45 overs) - Sarfraz 50 shafiq 50*
 
381 With Shan and Babar to win it for Pakistan, will be reminiscent of the Shan and Younis partnership in SL
 
I’m sure we’ll score higher than most people expect becuase this is the last innings in the series and everyone will try their best to save their place in the team.
 
They haven't had a sub 100 total which is rare, so I'm going to go with under 100.
 
They should score around 280, pitch is easing up. If they see off the new ball without losing too many wickets, they can get close to the target. They need to set bunch of small targets and reach them.
 
This is eerily similar to "that" crazy 450 chase in AUS. One of these two needs to make a hundred and the tail needs to stick around. SA is rattled. If these two can score another 70 runs from here, SA will choke. Attack and only attack. Don't change what worked so far. I'm betting for a Babar hundred and Pak win.
 
Teams tend to well when the target is huge. If we were chasing less than 200, we would have been bundled by now. I was prepared for this.

U mean we had 40 on the board and were looking ok at the time of posting so I had to add that on ;)
 
People are getting optimistic.
I like it.
Cant lose more than 3 wickets in the first 2 sessions which mean these and the next 3 need to bat out of there skins.
The best I'm hoping for is an hour of shafiq and an hour of sarfaraz which brings the target below 100 for shadab faheem and Babar. That would be amazing.
But expect shafiq and sarfaraz to give their wickets away just as we start to believe. 339
 
194 - All out in the morning session

(58 Overs, RR 3.34)

Asad Shafiq 48 (47) b Olivier c Kock
Babar Azam 58 (69) b Olivier c Elgar
Sarfraz Ahmed 0 (25) b Steyn LBW
Shadab Khan 0 (24) b Rabada
Faheem Ashraf 0 (1) b Olivier c Steyn
Mohammad Amir 0 (6) b Olivier c Kock
Hasan Ali 0 (1) b Philander c Amla
Mohammad Abbas 0* (3)
 
It has been a good fight back from the batters but again, 380 runs is a lot to get in the final innings. I expect the Pakistan innings to be similar to the one in the second Test. They will get close to 300 and lose by 80 or 90 runs.
