The Proteas were superb with both bat and ball in the series opener which they won by 11 runs but it was the batters who overshadowed the bowlers in the second game where they chased down a 207-run target with three balls to spare. That was possible mostly due to a sparkling maiden T20I century by Reeza Hendricks who hit the Pakistan national cricket team bowlers to all corners of the ground and helped them gain victory. Rassie van der Dussen at the other end, played an impressive 66-run knock as well. Heinrich Klaasen would now want his bowlers to put up an improved performance in the third game of the series.
