Pakistan 213/9 (49.2 ov) South Africa Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat Pakistan in South Africa ODI Series - 1st ODI ODI no. 3438 | 2013/14 season Played at Newlands, Cape Town 24 November 2013 (50-over match) Pakistan innings (50 overs maximum) R M B 4s 6s SR Nasir Jamshed c Kallis b Steyn 24 65 46 1 0 52.17 15.2 straight to Kallis at wide slip this time and Steyn pulls out half-a-chinsaw celebration. It was a shortish ball angled across the left-hander, amply wide outside off stump to leave it, but he goes for it with the intention of working it down to third man. But he only manages an edge which goes to the slip fielder at chest-high 49/1 Ahmed Shehzad c †de Kock b Kallis 35 101 70 3 0 50.00 23.3 hes gone this time! After threatening for nearly an entire over just recently, he nicks off to the keeper and Kallis has a wicket on his ODI comeback. Steady bowling, on a good length just outside off. Shehzad poked his bat out and watched his edge sit snugly in the keepers gloves 73/3 Mohammad Hafeez c Amla b Steyn 5 12 10 1 0 50.00 17.3 and the romance continues! Edged and goes low to the man at first slip and Amla makes no mistake. That full length ball just manages to nip away to claim the outside edge as Hafeez pushes at the ball. A second later Steyn is leaping high in the air, punching things only he can see. Hmm.. where have I seen that celebration before? 58/2 Sohaib Maqsood c Imran Tahir b Kallis 22 77 43 0 0 51.16 34.3 Tahir comes in from long-on and holds on to one and its the big wicket. Maqsood makes the long walk back after playing a very irresponsible slog. Takes on the length ball on off stump, but his wild swing only gets a leading edge and it seemed to pop out of Tahirs hands but smothered it against his chest 124/6 Misbah-ul-Haq* c †de Kock b Morkel 13 24 19 1 0 68.42 28.6 hes been bounced out! de Kock makes no mistake and Pakistan slide even further in trouble. That rose very awkwardly and Misbah was committed to working the ball towards fine leg, but he only manages to fend the ball into the keepers hands 97/4 Umar Akmal† c †de Kock b Philander 0 3 3 0 0 0.00 29.4 another outside edge and de Kock continues to have a good day. Lovely line and length just outside off prompts Akmal into poking at it and the mistake ends up being fatal for the Pakistan wicketkeeper 98/5 Shahid Afridi b Steyn 26 31 23 1 1 113.04 35.5 Off comes the leg bail! Everything else remains, even the off bail but that is enough to send Afridi back. Horrible shot as he went right across his stumps to lap the ball over to fine leg. Why would you do that to a bowler of Steyns pace? 131/7 Bilawal Bhatti lbw b Morkel 39 56 25 3 2 156.00 47.3 one innovation too many, but that is the end of an enterprising and more to the point, a much needed innings. Ah, but hold your horses, I think we have a review. It was full and straight, the batsman was moving across to the of side to lap it over the short fine leg fielder and gets struck plumb in front. The on-field umpire agrees but the batsman wanted a second opinion, which comes in the affirmative and Bhatti has to go 205/8 Anwar Ali not out 40 52 6 0 76.92 Saeed Ajmal c Duminy b Morkel 3 10 5 0 0 60.00 49.2 143 kph, simple catch to mid-off and that shall be Ajmals last miscue in this innings. It was too quick for him as he goes for a slog. Duminy saw the leading edge, called early, settled beneath it and took a simple catch. 213/9 Extras (lb 1, w 5) 6 Total (9 wickets; 49.2 overs) 213 (4.31 runs per over)
