“A win is something that always gives you satisfaction,” saysShoaib Malik. “When you enter the dressing room there are some smiling faces. Youngsters have learned a lot from this tour, but in those crunch positions we broke and that’s where we need to improve. If we look at all three games, we could have won in the first two but these things happen in cricket. The thing is how you come back from it, and if you get the same thing in future, how you handle crunch situations. Afridi is a remarkable find from Pakistan. He’s got talent and he’s improving day by day. Having him in our team is a great sign. Pace bowlers keep coming and winning games for us, and we want batsmen to do the same. Babar Azam has performed consistently, and we need more batsmen to perform consistently abroad. It’s not just about getting chances, but about developing your game. I would like to congratulate the South African team for winning all three series.”
Shadab Khan is the Player of the Match. “It’s been a good tour, competitive cricket, and a learning process. It’s good for us,” he says.
David Miller is the Player of the Series. “We came out and showed our class in all three formats. Tonight was a disappointing result but really chuffed with a series win. Captaincy was really enjoyable. It tested me a bit, but the guys made it easy. I was supported by management and players. You always look at where you go wrong or right, and there are things I can do differently. Hopefully, I learn from those things. Guys have really put their hands up to compete against the best T20 team in the world and beat them as well. There is a lot of depth in South African cricket.”
"Tonight was disappointing but we’re really chuffed with a series win against the best T20 team in the world," said South African stand-in captain David Miller. "We’ve beaten them with a young side. There’s a lot of depth in South African cricket."
"A win is always something that gives you satisfaction," said Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik. "Our youngsters have learnt a lot from this tour and we played really good white-ball cricket."
Shoaib lost the toss but admitted he was happy to bat first, and at first it showed as Babar Azam got off to a rollicking start.
The world's No 1 T20 batsman Babar smashed Junior Dala for three boundaries as they raced to 18-0 off the first two overs. But his momentum got the better of him as he chipped one to cover to fall for an 11-ball 23.
Lutho Sipamla bowled superbly in the first match, but he failed to find his line in the first over as Fakhar Zaman took a liking and hit 17 off him. Zaman would eventually fall for Hendricks' first wicket, but Pakistan found some more stability through Shoaib and Mohammad Rizwan.
MIDDLE-ORDER COLLAPSE
What followed was a pattern that has dogged Pakistan's series, as a middle-order collapse put the Proteas in control. Sipamla (1-26) picked up his first international wicket, before Shoaib was forced to walk after a mix up in the middle for 18.
There were some handy contributions from Imad Wasim (19) and Asif Ali (25), but Hendricks then blew the lower order away with three wickets in the space of four balls, to eventually finish with career-best figures of 4-14.
Shadab Khan however had other ideas, and in hindsight it might well have been his knock that separated the sides. He smashed three sixes off the final Andile Phehlukwayo (1-41) over to drag his side to 168-9.
The response with the bat was poor from the Proteas. While Pakistan were on 46-1 after their first overs, the Proteas were on 20-2 as Janneman Malan (2) and Reeza Hendricks (5) fell cheaply.
The Proteas took the risk of picking a long tail for this match, and that risk was exposed heavily. While Rassie van der Dussen did his best to put up a fight, the same can't be said for Heinrich Klaasen, who capped off a quiet series by skying one for two.
Shadab (2-34) backed up his batting display with the ball, as he removed Miller and Phehlukwayo for 13 and 10 respectively, leaving Morris with it all to do.
Morris put up a bit of a fight with 55 off 29, but he simply didn't have enough quality around him to get his side over the line. They fell 27 runs short of the target, for Pakistan to wrap up their tour of South Africa with the victory.
