49.1Shah to L Williams263/10
Clean Bowled. OUT! Bowled. Naseem Shah to Lizaad Williams. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed. South Africa have posted a decent total after being asked to bat first in this opening ODI at Iqbal Stadium. The innings was set up beautifully by the top-order duo of Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Quinton de Kock, both notching up impressive half-centuries to give the Proteas a flying start. The middle order kept the momentum going through the middle overs, ensuring the scoreboard kept ticking. A special mention to Corbin Bosch, who chipped in with a crucial 41 runs down the order, adding valuable depth to the innings. For Pakistan, leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed was the standout performer with the ball, claiming three key wickets and keeping the hosts in the hunt. Naseem Shah picked up three wickets for his side. Can Pakistan make light work of this target, or will South Africa's bowlers rise to the occasion? Join us back in 30 minutes for all the action from the second innings!
