South Africa v Pakistan | 1st T20I | Johannesburg | 10 April 2021 | South Africa innings

We will probably lose this game if we can't keep them under 200.

Our tail is too long, we are a batsman short in this encounter.
 
Anything below 230 should make us favourites on this ground
 
Why usman not bowling, what is this fear crap, who cares if he goes for runs. He can get u a wicket
 
Yorker length.

Short balls aren't a good option.

Bowl full and change the length once in a while.

If Qadir bowls, he is quite likely to concede about 20-odd runs in his over. It's not a good time to introduce him.
 
This is a road and it will also test our hitting ability. A.lot of rubbish bowled particularly by UQ and Haris but it's a great wicket
 
Every pace bowler has bowled it too short today. Anything short has been punished so why not try yorkers?!
 
Some really incredible aggressive batting from SA. May not have the name value but these guys do have the domestic track record and clearly know how to bat in their home conditions.
 
Good and smart bowling was all that was needed as shown by hasan
 
Hopefully that wicket can stem the flow of runs and keep the total reasonably manageable.
 
SA regular Klaasen played well today for them. In T20s you just need couple or batsmen to click to change the game.

A pretty good surface this.
 
This is where the lack of batsmen in the lower mid order may cost them.

Nawaz faheem n co are not good enough to be batting at 6 and 7
 
Pakistan got really lucky with Klaasen’s injury. It killed the momentum of his innings and forced him into a dismissal.

South Africa would be short by 20-30 runs here compared to what they would have had with Klaasen at the crease.
 
A good spell from Hasan Ali considering how expensive the other bowlers have been.

Yes, which is why it is the D team. Take those two out and it would have been the Z team.

Speculation.
 
Shaheen is in different league in comparison to Rauf, Hasan, Hasnain, etc
 
South Africa gonna be a full force in the WT20. Seeing their bats here. Some of them can make the first team easy
 
I like the aggression shown by Shaheen in this series. It shows he is moving on from being sheepish youngster to an aggressive leader of the pack. We need this aggression which has been lacking for quite sometime now.
 
This is an absolute belter of a venue for dynamic hitters.

Pakistanis should thank IPL or else this could've potentially turned ugly against De kock, Miller and Faf....:rabada2
 
In hindsight, Shaheen has got the rights of that star pose now given he is officially going to be a member of the Afridi family so fittingly he is taking the star pose forward, taking the legacy forward.

Always an excuse for Opposition.
 
Less than 190 is easily achievable here. We have pulled this back well.

SA should be disappointed with this end to the innings.

Luck has made them bowl yorkers at will in last 4 overs

DeKoek has not much against Pakistan in this tour or in our home series. Miller surely is missed but Klassen has covered his absence.
 
So this guy should be bowling overs 13, 15, 17, 19


This is what Umar Gul used to do.
 
One good over at the right time, and you’ve brought your team back into contention for the win

Love Cricket. Love Rock throwers

Didn't he score an 80 odd at this same venue before leaving for the IPL?
 
This has been a masterclass of death bowling so far.
 
Done well to keep them under 200 but SA have an advantage in bowling second and now can learn from Pakistan's mistake by pitching it up, avoid bowling too short and bowling plenty of yorkers.
 
This Pehlu usually turns into Graeme pollock / chaminda vaas wen he sees a pak shirt !
