Pakistan vs South Africa, 1st ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Ferreira to Fakhar Zaman, out Caught by Fortuin!! Fakhar Zaman holes out! Big wicket for South Africa in the context of the game! It's Ferreira once again who is in the thick of things. Fakhar Zaman dances down the track but Ferreira spots him early and shortens his length a bit and also bowls it slow through the air. Fakhar is not quite to the pitch of it but still goes for an expansive shot downtown. Doesn't get the necessary elevation on it as it flies down the throat of long-on. Fortuin stationed there takes it safely. Both the openers are back in the hut now. Fakhar Zaman c Fortuin b Ferreira 45(57) [4s-4 6s-2]
