South Africa achieved the 196-run target for the loss of one wicket thanks to the brilliant batting by AB de Villiers, who played a fascinating innings of 120 runs off just 51 balls, which included 12 fours and 7 sixes.

Hashim Amla was dismissed after scoring 18 runs off 14 balls.

Batting first, Pakistan scored 196 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in the allotted 20 overs.

Pakistan’s total included Sharjeel Khan’s 76 runs, while Umar Amin contributed 36 runs.

However, the total could not pose a major obstacle for South Africa.

Sharjeel’s innings put the Proteas bowlers under pressure and provided a solid foundation for the team in the middle overs.

After his dismissal, Umar Amin strengthened the team’s total with a brilliant 36 runs off 19 balls.

In the last 5 overs, Asif Ali batted briskly and scored 28 runs off 15 balls, which included two sixes and a four. Pakistan added 61 runs in the last five overs.
