Pakistan Vs South Africa 3rd ODI: Rain Helps Hendricks & Du Plessis To Take Proteas 1 Up In The Series
The rain poured in favour of the South Africans, as they won the match by only 13 runs to take the lead in the series by 2-1.
Pakistan had won the toss and elected to bat first. Imam-ul-Haq, who had been under a lot of pressure scored a magnificent century followed by Babar Azam and Mohammad Hafeez who scored half centuries to stabilize Pakistan’s innings. Cameos from Shoaib Malik and Imad Wasim ensured Pakistan posted a massive total of 317 runs on the board.

South Africa win under D/L method with a 13 runs margin. Sarfraz and company will now have to work harder. Imam’s century will take pressure of him. Babar Azam’s bat sounded beautiful. The series gets more exciting. #SAvPAK

Nobody wanted a D/L result but for once South Africa have played it well and were looking good on 187/2/33 with Reeza 83* (90) and Faf 40* (42). Pakistan might have turned the screws but they were at the same ground. SA take a 2-1 lead in the series. #SAvPAK via @ESPNcricinfo
