Schalkwyk began the over with a dot ball, but his next delivery, a slow one, was dispatched for a four by Shadab.

However, he recovered quickly to take his third wicket and dismiss Shadab, who was caught behind by Andries Gous.

Faheem Ashraf, who bailed out Pakistan in their last game against the Netherlands, then walked into the middle and struck the first sent to him hard down the ground. However, the fielder was quick to stop the ball from reaching the rope and Faheem managed just single.

Next ball to Nawaz was a slow one and hit high up in the higher, just out of Netravalkar’s reach.

But he recovered quickly and caught out Faheem.
