South Africa vs Pakistan, 5th ODI – Rotobash Fantasy Cricket Tips
Pakistan continue to miss Sarfaraz Ahmed.
This 5 matches One-day series has come down to the wire as both the teams have won 2 matches each and this match will be the decider that who will clinch the ODI trophy. We have seen some evenly-poised in this closely fought ODI series. In the Pink day match, South Africa was completely lost by Pakistan which was the first win of the visiting country a on a pink day.
When South Africa put to bat, they lost 2 quick wickets, but after Faf and Amla rebuild the innings. In this process, they also scored their half-century respectively, but when they tried to push up the ante, the whole innings crumbled as they were out for mere 164 runs. Their middle order particularly Miller and Rassie van der Dussen, couldn’t hold the innings together and this score was a cakewalk for Pakistan as they won by 8 wickets.
Pakistan Top order has been in amazing form in this series particularly, Imam and Babar. In the bowling department, young sensation Shaheen Afridi, and Usman Khan are doing well so their team looks well settled.
South Africa has some issue to address Quinton De cock would like to get some runs under his bent along with David Miller in order to win this series. The new ball bowlers have not been able to get the early breakthrough, which we have not seen usually because they have world class bowler.
