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.

In 1st game played at Centurion of the three matches One Day International (ODI) series, Pakistan beat South Africa by three wickets in the last over run-chase.

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!
