...Presentation...
Reeza Hendricks has been around the white-ball with his national team for a long team and you feel, he owed one big innings, one big match winnings innings to his team. Today was the day, to day was the special day as Reeza Hendricks turned up the heat to score his first ever T20I century. Some of the shots were just magical to see. His ton included 10 humongous sixes and 5 came from Rassie van der Dussen's blade who played the perfect second fiddle to Hendricks. Reeza Hendricks fell but Rassie van der Dussen did the finishing job as South Africa won by 3 balls to spare.
Pakistan are known for their bowling, which suits them most often. They started well with Jahandad Khan striking a couple of blows inside the Powerplay. However, the pacers, mainly Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf went for plenty after that. Abrar Ahmed was the most economical and if one could have given a thought to Mohammad Rizwan to give Saim Ayub an over or two with the other spinner doing well. You never know, things could have turned out differently.
South Africa won it comfortably. Yes, comfortably, they chased down a humongous total! Wow! What a game! More than 400 runs overall. Have a thought for Saim Ayub and Pakistan, who looked so confident at the halfway mark on the back of such a big total. The hosts didn't let the crowd down and entertained them to win the series.
