Kallis gone. Afridi doing it. BIG BOWLING PERFORMANCE THIS.
 
Lala on fire !!! Bowling superbly and gets the big fish Kallis !! :D
 
Was just about to say Afridi should have more fielders up - given how he's bowling, it won't be easy to hit him over the top. They need to keep both mid on and mid off up imo.
 
Thank god someone clearly called for a catch there. Couldve ended in tears. :))
 
Heart was in my mouth when it was Ajmal who decided he wanted to take the catch. Was wishing it to be anyone else hahahaha.
 
What was up with Kallis? Looked like a shot by an 18 year old, not a 38 year old
 
Afridi needs to bowl a floater a'la WT20 '09 to ABDV to well and truly finish off this match here. Game still in the balance though Pakistan sliiightly ahead.
 
I think a lot of us are slightly undermining Amla's role here though, he's the type of guy who starts off slowly and before you now it he's at 90 with a strike rate of almost a run a ball. Yes ABDV Duminy Miller etc will be the big boundary hitters to keep the RRR in check but Amla with his great skill in strike rotation will be crucial too, he's played out 80-odd deliveries so he's well and truly set (needs to stay there for SA to have a chance too).
 
Good time to bring in Bilawal and possibly even Anwar, get Anwar's overs out of the way (Bilawal is a way better death bowler and bowler in general, save him for the death). Try to bowl a few overs with JK too, he's not very good in the death
 
Stats Alert: Afridi now got 1 more wicket thn the number of matches he played! 370 wickets in 369 ODIs
 
Match is still in the balance i think. South Africa can make a come back with some hard hitting from the last 50 balls if they have wickets in hand by that time

This difference of around 30 between runs required and balls remaining need to be increased by Pakistan to pressurize them to commit mistakes.
