Pak vs SA 2nd ODI: South Africa beat Pakistan, levels series

Earlier, South Africa batted well upfront with Bavuma (92) and de Kock (80) laid the platform. Van Dussen 60 (37) & Miller 50* (27) finished off with fireworks to take Proteas to 341/6.
Pakistan in reply were rocked again by Nortje (3/63) and were 120/5. At the point, the match looked over but Fakhar Zaman as a one-man army played one of the all-time great knocks smashing 10 sixes and 18 fours in a brilliant 193 (155).
But the task was too much even for Fakhar as Pakistan fell short by 17 runs. South Africa levelled the series 1-1 and as their stars depart for IPL, they will be hoping for a miracle to win the home series against Pakistan.

Pakistan in pursuit of the 274-run target set by South Africa at Centurion easily hunted the mark by giving 4 wickets.
After such a slow start but a cracking century from Babar and after some twists and turns, it went down right to the last ball!
