Pakistan faced South Africa in their 1st ODI at Bloemfontein today. Much was expected from the Pakistan team after their huge victory in the one-off T20 match.
Pakistan bowled first after they won the toss. Pakistani seamers did a great job in the first 10 overs where they restricted South africa for only 50 runs. Much pressure was built and Saeed Ajmal gave a beautiful opening as he grabbed the first wicked in his first over. Muhammed Hafeez followed on after dismissing the in-form Hashim Amla. But AB de Villiers and Ingram took charge as they progessed South Africa to a very respuctful total but soon Saeed Ajmal striked again to dismiss de Villiers. But Ingram continued to bash the Pakistani bowlers along with Faf du Plessis. Ingram soon completed his century and finished off the South African innings at 315\4
Pakistan's start proved to be good as Nasir Jamshed and Hafeez attacked from the beginning. But Kleinveldt got rid of Jamshed in the 7th over and since then no such partnership for Pakistan stood up.
Hafeez followed later after a very controversial run out and soon wickets fell. Misbah and Younus khan stood at the crease for long enough but in the end it was no use to the good bowling attack of South Africa.
Wickets conitnued to fall one after another. But a Afridi's 34 runs sure did entertain the crowd as he hit 3 sixes and 2 fours and he became the first man to hit 300 SIXES in the ODI ever.Hard earned achievement.
The Pakistan team fumbled at 190 all out in 36 overs.
The match resulted in a humiliating defeat to Pakistan by 125 runs at the hands of South Africa as they took 1-0 lead at the ODI series.
Hoping that Pakistan puts up a better fight at the Centurion and levels up the series.
