Pakistan will be looking to win the T20 series after winning the second match against the Proteas by a dominant nine-wicket margin in Lahore. Pakistan's Saim Ayub was the top batsman in the second match and finished with the highest score of 71 runs off 38 balls, with the assistance of six fours and five sixes. Replacing Shaheen Afridi for this crucial game, rookie pacer Salman Mirza delivered an outstanding spell with the new ball. Mirza took three wickets and only conceded 14 runs in his four overs. Faheem Ashraf also bowled well, finishing with 4 for 23 in 3.2 overs.
