PORT ELIZABETH: Pakistan held their nerve to complete a one-run victory in the second ODI against South Africa in a nail-biting thriller that went down till the very last ball
Earlier, Pakistan rode on opener Ahmed Shehzad’s brilliance to post a daunting target of 263 runs.
Rain had delayed start of play, forcing umpires to reduce the match to 45 overs a side.
After South Africa won the toss and sent Pakistan in to bat, Steyn struck with Nasir Jamshed’s wicket in the very first over.
Vice captain Mohammad Hafeez once again gifted his wicket to Dale Steyn yet again, in what happens to be his 15th dismissal off the pacer in 20 matches.
In stark contrast, Ahmed Shehzad unfurled a lovely array of shots to complete the third ODI century of his career consisting eight fours and two majestic sixes. He was run-out on 102 runs from 112 balls.
Sohaib Maqsood scored 42 runs while captain Misbahul Haq continued his dry streak with a score of 12. Under pressure all rounder Shahid Afridi managed only 11 runs.
