Pak vs SA: Final T20I to decide the series winner today in Lahore

The third and final Twenty20 International between Pakistan and South Africa will be played on Sunday (today) at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore.

The three-match series is currently level at 1-1 after South Africa beat Pakistan by six wickets last night. Batting second, the Proteas chased down the 145-run target easily with 22 balls to spare.

Earlier, Pakistan had won the first match by three runs courtesy Mohammad Rizwan’s century. 

The wicketkeeper-batsman went on to score another half century in the second T20I before getting dismissed by Dwaine Pretorius, who was awarded Player of the Match for bowling his career best – taking five dismissals to lead his side to a comfortable victory against the hosts.

The decider on Sunday will mark the end of South Africa cricket team’s tour of Pakistan. The Proteas landed in Pakistan a month earlier to play two Tests and three T20Is.

Pakistan clean swept the two-match Test series 2-0, beating them both in Karachi and Rawalpindi.
