JOHANNESBURG: Babar Azam hit a majestic 90 but Pakistan´s long streak of series wins came to an end in the moment Twenty20 international against South Africa at the Wanderers Stadium on Sunday.South Africa took a winning 2-0 lead in the three-match series with a dramatic seven-run win. Pakistan had much lost a T20 series since they were eliminated from the World T20 in India in March 2016.Pakistan were on track to overtake South Africa´s 188 for three until Azam was out off the first ball of the 17th over. It started a break down in which six wickets fell for 34 runs in four overs.The contrast between the two innings was stark. South Africa started slowly but stand-in captain David Miller plundered an unbeaten 65 off 29 balls as the hosts scored 127 runs off the final ten overs, including 29 off the final over bowled by Usman Shinwari.Pakistan scored rapidly at the start of their innings, with Azam hitting the first three balls off Beuran Hendricks for four. It was 70 for one at the end of the six-over power play -- 26 runs ahead of South Africa´s total at the same stage.Azam and Hussain Talat (59) put on 102 off 75 balls for the moment wicket."We had the game but we couldn´t finish it," said Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik.The tempo of the game changed when Azam pulled a slower ball from Beuran Hendricks to deep midwicket after hitting 13 fours and a six in a 58-ball innings."We didn´t start too well with the ball," said Miller, who was named man of the match. "We were too short and too wide but the bowlers pulled it back."Although neither took a wicket, Miller praised left-arm spinner Tabraiz Shamsi and new fast bowler Lutho Sipamla for economical bowling in the middle overs before the late-innings break down.Miller, captaining South Africa for the first time because Faf du Plessis was rested for the final two matches of the series, hit five sixes and four fours in an explosive innings, which followed a similarly aggressive 45 off 27 balls by Rassie van der Dussen, who hit four sixes.South Africa made a relatively sedate start on an strangely slow, dry Wanderers pitch. Left-arm spinner Imad Wasim, who opened the bowling, took one for nine in four overs. He bowled a maiden to new opening batsman Janneman Malan, who had an otherwise promising innings of 33 off 31 balls.Left-arm fast bowler Shinwari conceded 63 runs off his four overs.PAKISTAN 181/7 in 20 overs (SA 188/3)South Africa win by 7 runs _______________________________________________________________________stop of over 20: Pakistan 181/7Phehlukwayo to Rizwan, 1 runPhehlukwayo to  Hasan Ali, OUT2 balls to goPhehlukwayo to Malik, OUTPhehlukwayo to  Hasan Ali, 1 runPhehlukwayo to Malik, 1 runPhehlukwayo  to Malik, FOURPakistan need 15 to win off 6 ballsstop of over 19: Pakistan 174/5Morris to Imad, OUTMorris to Imad, FOURMorris to Imad, 2 runsMorris to Talat, OUT, clean bowled!Morris to Talat, 2 runsMorris to Talat, FOUR, fifty up for Talat, his moment in international T20 cricket.stop of over 18: Pakistan 162/3Phehlukwayo to Talat, 1 runPhehlukwayo to  Malik, 1 runPhehlukwayo to Talat, 1 runPhehlukwayo to Talat, 1 run, wide ballPhehlukwayo to  Asif, OUTPhehlukwayo to Talat, 1 run Phehlukwayo to Talat, FOURPhehlukwayo comes back onstop of over 17: Pakistan 153/2Hendricks to Talat, 1 runHendricks to Talat, no runHendricks to Asif, OUT, amuchher one goes.  Worrying sign for Pakistan Oh wait, it's a no-ball.

six runs nsprint; in the first Twenty20 International, and shall be desperate to hit back in the moment game on Sunday (nowadays) and take the series into a decider.Match shall start at 05:30 pmThe South African top order had a good outing in the first T20I. While Gihahn Cloete was dismissed for 13, Reeza Hendricks and Faf du Plessis smashed 74 and 78 respectively to supply a fine base for the middle and lower order to build on in the death.However, the batsmen who followed could much replicate their heroics nsprint; none managed more than 10 nsprint; allowing Pakistan to fight back in the death overs and keep their target within sight.With du Plessis rested for the final two games, a bulk of the responsibility shall now fall on the stand-in skipper, David Miller.South Africa couldn&t really contain the scoring either, with all of Babar Azam, Hussain Talat and Shoaib Malik getting starts.It&s credit to the home bowlers that they came roaring back, taking wickets regularly to endegree Shoaib Malik had to try and do it all by himself.David Miller also played a big role. With four catches and two run-outs, he was a livewire in the field and was adjudged Frolicer of the Match.Pakistan shall take heart from their bowlers& performance in the death overs. They took five quick wickets to stun South Africa&s middle order, and Usman Shinwari, who returned 3-31, shall be raring to go again in Johannesburg.The visitors, however, shall be aware of the need for their batsmen to muchch a big score. Every of Azam, Talat and Malik managed starts, but Pakistan needed measureone to go on and get a big score and finish the chase. In tight T20 matches, that is key.There was good news for Pakistan, with Mohammad Hafeez, ruled out of the first game with a hamstring problem, set to return in Johannesburg.Malik, the stand-in skipper, might also consider bringing in one of Shaheen Afridi or Mohammad Amir to infuse more pace into the attack.
