Kobus: "A proud South African following the game on cricinfo. Currently in Poland. Thanks guys. You commentated as if i am watching it on the TV. " --- Thank you Kobus. And I learn that David Miller is indeed the Player of the Match. Thanks for your company this Friday evening. This is Debayan Sen signing off for the moment on behalf of my colleaugues Ranjith P, Liam Brickhill and Danyal Rasool. See you in a couple of days' time for the second T20. Good night and have a nice weekend, wherever you are tuning in from
Usama Ali: "Great match with very small margins. Pakistan will think about all the direct hits they missed. That chance that Hussain Talat had when he didn't go for the catch of Hendricks...Hendricks hit two fours straight after that. As I say, very small margins can be costly. Well played SA"
Anim: "Someone said pak will lose by 8 runs. Its close enough.. "
Brian Roberts: "Surely 6 wickets by a fielder is a record?"
9.40pm What a game this has turned out to be in the end. Pakistan showing enough to suggest why this three-match series will be a humdinger all the way through. It's a six-run win for South Africa, and most of it powered along by David Miller in the field. Four catches and two run-outs -- the commentators confirm that this is a South African record -- but Pakistan gave it an almighty good go. When Hussain Talat and Babar Azam were cobbling together a good partnership for the second wicket, it was a good tight spell of bowling in tandem from Andile Phehlukwayo and Shamsi that brought the hosts back into the equation. This breaks a sequence of 11 consecutive successful chases in T20Is by Pakistan, a record for any team
Dr. Faizy: "Miller will haunt me for the rest of the night."
Abhinav Ojha: "The 2nd match of the 1986 Champions Trophy was between the mighty West Indies and Pakistan. West Indies won the match by nine wickets, but it was not because of their furious fast-bowlers, but because of their "flying Caribbean" Gus Logie. It was the first time in cricket history that a fielder was adjudged as the Man of Match"
Aftab wazeer: "Millar has been everywhere today.. some one is praying u from pakis dear .. guess who!! SARFARAZZ"
Fahad Saeed: "Miller why you so cruel today? "
Shoaib Malik c Miller b Morris 49 (53m 31b 5x4 1x6) SR: 158.06
Noel: "Pakistan need Carlos Brathwaite for the the last over to win this."
16 off this last over, which will be bowled by Chris Morris
Ali: "Question.... Did any fielder ever get a man of the match? " --- There may have been more, but I remember this from another South African
The 20-year-old seamer said he had a clear idea of the role he was expected to play during his first international match against Pakistan last week
Beuran Hendricks' four-for and Chris Morris' maiden T20I fifty went in vain as Pakistan ended their tour of South Africa on a positive note
The South Africa pacer on his thinking coming in to bowl the final over against Pakistan in the previous T20I, and how he held his nerve to seal the deal
The last time Pakistan failed to win any game in a three-match T20I series was against England in the UAE in November 2015
Miller, the stand-in South Africa captain, admitted he had a 'deer in the headlights' moment when Pakistan were blazing away early on in their chase
