South Africa Hold Nerve to Defeat Pakistan by 8 Runs in a Thrilling Contest
South Africa edged out Pakistan by 8 runs in a closely fought T10 encounter. Batting first, South Africa posted 135/5 thanks to a steady start from Quinton de Kock (16 off 6), Aiden Markram (50 off 22) and a strong finish by Heinrich Klaasen (28 off 11)*.
Chasing 136, Pakistan’s top order got starts through Babar Azam (27 off 16)* and Fakhar Zaman (34 off 12), but South Africa’s disciplined bowling, especially Gerald Coetzee (3/26), turned the game around.
