Botha and Tsotsobe picked up 3 wickets each to wrap up the Pakistan innings.
Batting second SA went in deep trouble in the second over when Shoaib Akhtar grabed two wickets in his first over, Bosman was caught by Farhat on the score of 2 while De Villiers was clean bowled by Akhtar. It was Duminy's luck when he was given not out for a confident appeal of caught behind on the very next ball of Akhtar,it would have been third wicket in an over.
