Pakistan and South Africa are currently facing off in the second T20I of the three match series. After a win in the first match, South Africa are expecting to win this game and seal off the series. On the other hand, Pakistan is searching for their first win in the series and keep the series alive till the last game.

Mohammad Rizwan won the toss ahead of the game and Pakistan decided to bat first. While Babar Azam was slotted to open the innings, however Pakistan went in with a change and brought in Saim Ayub at the top. The team management would have hoped for a good start from Rizwan and Ayub.

Rizwan Fails To Provide Start To Pakistan

However much to the disappointment of the Pakistani fans, Rizwan fell early putting Pakistan under early pressure. The Pakistan skipper fell to Ottneil Baartman in the fourth over of the game. On the fourth delivery, Baartman bowled a short delivery outside the off stump. Rizwan's eyes lit up on seeing the delivery and he tried to pull it over the square leg fence. 

Rizwan did not get the right connection on the shot as he got beaten for pace. He got a top edge while losing the grip on the bat and it sailed towards deep square leg. Rassie van der Dussen, who was fielding in the deep ran to his right and then dived to take a sensational catch and send Rizwan back. It was an important wicket for South Africa as Rizwan was the one who held the Pakistan innings in the last match.
