South Africa's total was below 200 runs at the end of 40 overs, but now, after 43 overs, South Africa's total has gone above 237 runs. Usually, three wickets have fallen, meaning the next batsmen will bat aggressively, which can lead to a run total approaching 300. Although Lahore is a bowling friendly pitch, New Zealand and South Africa are batting at their own pace in the first match and the second match, respectively, and both teams are able to score over 300 runs. Pakistan is not performing well at the venue where it is supposed to bat well, but other teams are performing well.
South Africa managed to score 300+ in the end. South Africa set a target of 305 runs. Considering the pitch, this is a big score. South Africa scored 108 runs in the last 10 overs. Matthew Breetzke scored 150 runs from 148 balls. Wiaan Mulder scored 64 runs from 60 balls. Since South Africa have set a target of 300+, it is expected that the match will be very competitive if the South African bowlers can bowl with control.
