Andile Simelane to Usman Khan. Short, wide down leg side on the back foot pulling, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Breetzke. Pakistan seal the series with a commanding four-wicket victory in this deciding contest, completing a fine turnaround after a dramatic loss in the opening game. They executed their plans perfectly, outplaying South Africa in all three departments. While Saim Ayub fell early, Babar Azam anchored the chase brilliantly, supported by Salman Ali Agha, the pair's 76 run partnership the backbone of the chase. Both fell, as the hosts suffered a late wobble, losing four wickets, Corbin Bosch and Lizaad Williams with two apiece, but it wasn't enough as victory was wrapped up with an over to spare. Babar Azam is the Player of the Match and Faheem Ashraf is the Player of the Series.
