PAK vs SA: Pakistan win first T20I by 3 runs

Pakistan hold their nerves with six required off the final delivery. Pakistan win by three runs, go 1-0 up in the 3-match T20I series. That was a close shave for the hosts, who needed 19 runs in the final over.

Pakistan beat South Africa in a test series for the



first time in 18 years with two emphatic victories at Karachi and Rawalpindi and will be looking to carry forward their momentum into the T20I series. South Africa, led by Heinrich Klaasen, has a new look, with several players unavailable for the series. There is only David Miller in its lineup with some experience of playing in Pakistan. Miller toured Pakistan in 2017 with a World XI side which played three-match Twenty20 series with du Plessis as its skipper.
