Pakistan win ODI against South Africa in last over as Agha shows the waySalman Ali Agha top scored for Pakistan as they snatched a last-over victory over South Africa on Tuesday in an exciting finish to the first of three One Day Internationals at Faisalabad. Salman scored 62 as Pakistan won by two wickets with two balls remaining as they successfully chased down a 264-run target. Pakistan put South Africa in to bat and the tourists’ opening pair put on a 98-run partnership before teenager Lhuan-dre Pretorius, who scored 57 off 60 balls on his ODI debut, was expertly caught at point. Quinton de Kock, back in the ODI ranks after a two-year absence, was South Africa’s top scorer with 63 and Corbin Bosch made a quick-fire 41 in the last overs before South Africa were bowled out for 263 with five balls to spare. The two teams meet again at Iqbal Stadium, hosting international cricket after a 17-year absence, on Thursday.
