Yes, South Africa's decision to bowl first is not giving benefit. Pakistan has played superbly so far the current score is 130 runs in a loss of just 2 wickets in 28 overs. Babar Azam playing well in second ODI match scores a well deserved half century currently batting at 59 runs. I hope Babar Azam convert into a hundred. while Muhammad Rizwan captain of Pakistan is playing well scores 43 runs from 60 balls, very closes to his fifty. The Third wicket partnership between Muhammad Rizwan and Babar Azam is more then 90 runs. from south Africa Marco Jansen and Kwena Maphaka pick one, one wickets. South Africa needs to break this partnership if they want to win this match and level the series with 1-1 but Pakistan bastman played outstanding So far and much likey to cross 280 plus runs target.
We did not see Pakistani players playing well in the T20 series. Pakistan lost both matches. However, Pakistan started well in the ODI series. Pakistan won the first match. In the second match, South Africa won the toss and decided to field. However, South Africa's bowlers could not bowl well. As a result, Pakistan was able to score big. Pakistani batsmen gave a big target of 330. We did not see South Africa's batsmen bat well in the first match. I think South Africa's chances of winning this match are low.
Saim Ayub and Agha Salman had to score big in the first match. Although they could not play a big innings in today's match, these two batsmen batted badly. Babar Azam and Rizwan managed to score 73 and 80 runs. However, the most important innings was played by Kamran Ghulam. Ghulam scored 63 runs from just 32 balls.
Maphaka and Janes took 4 and 3 wickets respectively today. However, these two batsmen gave a lot of runs. Maphaka gave away 72 runs in 10 overs and Marco Janes gave away 71 runs in 10 overs.
