Too early to say anything. Pakistan got the initial advantage, when they won the toss and then decided to bat first. A lot will depend on how long Babar Azam stays out there. After these two, it is the allrounders and then the bowlers. Both the top-runs corers for Pakistan are out now (Mohammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique). Babar was in poor form until now, and it needs to be seen whether he will be able to rescue Pakistan today. So far both of them are looking somewhat comfortable against the spinners. But what will happen once Jansen and Coetzee are re-introduced?
Pakistan team throughout the tournament failed to attack the opponent and this is exactly happening in today's game also. After 25 overs Pakistan going with 5 run per over. With this scoring rate Pakistan will only be able to give a target of 270 or 300 maximum. Seeing the bowling form of Pakistani bowlers 300 won't be a safe target. Pakistan already lost 4 wickets and there chances of scoring 300 are now very slim.
In starting of this match, Pakistan batting was very low quality and their opener batter did not show great effort in batting and they did not manage big score. Abdullah Shafique got got after making 9 score just only. Imam ul Haq got out at 12 score which was not show good performance. Babar Azam performance was just little bit impressive because he scored 50 score and not complete full century at least complete his half century and his performance better performance then other batters like Muhammad Rizwan. Now they lost all main batters of their team and only 3 batters remain for batting which is all bowler of their squad. At present, Pakistan successfully made 250 score in 43 overs and let's see at the end their batting how much they will give a defending target to South Africa team.
