In a crucial cricket match, South Africa defeated Pakistan. Pakistan batted first, scoring 271 runs, but South Africa managed to chase this target and win.
Babar Azam, Pakistan’s captain, chose to bat first, hoping for a big score. But early on, Pakistan faced difficulties. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan tried to stabilize, but when South Africa introduced spin bowlers, it became challenging.
Babar Azam scored 50 runs but got out trying to hit a big shot. Pakistan was 115 for 3 at that point. Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed added some runs, but the spinners made it tough.
Later in the innings, Saud Shakeel and Shadab Khan played aggressively and added 86 runs quickly. However, Shamsi, a South African bowler, took important wickets.
Pakistan ended at 270 runs, and South Africa needed to score 271 to win. Saud and Babar were Pakistan’s top scorers, and Shamsi was South Africa’s key bowler.
