CRICKET NEWS - A superb bowling performance from Pakistan's left-arm seamers inflicted the Proteas' first-ever PinkDay defeat at the Wanderers on Sunday, to leave the series poised at 2-2 with an eight-wicket victory.
Full ScorecardFresh from winning the rain-affected clash at Centurion on Friday, the Proteas would've been confident of wrapping up the series in Johannesburg on Sunday, especially considering they'd won all seven of their previous PinkDay clashes.
The controversy surrounding Sarfraz Ahmed's comments about Andile Phehlukwayo last week and his subsequent four-match ban further added to the frustration of the Pakistanis.
But the cunning captaincy of new skipper Shoaib Malik and the superb performance of his trio of left-arm seamers, Mohammad Amir, Shaheen Afridi and Usman Shinwari, inspired a comfortable victory to set up the decider in Cape Town on Wednesday.
