South Africa Struggles against Pakistan Seam Bowlers
South Africa lost their first wicket early with Quinton D Kock, the South Africa keeper edging the ball to the proper wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed in the first over and OUT for a duck, justifying his poor form.
Faf Du Plessis and Amla steaded the innings with some shots around the field but then the skiddy Rahat Ali and Wahab Riaz didn't let the South African batsmen settle. Du Plessis edged the ball to Sarfraz Ahmed with the bowling of Riaz and South Africa lost their second wicket for the score of 67 and Amla followed him immediately of the bowling of Rahat Ali with a brilliant catch by Sarfraz Ahmed. South Africa were sitting at a score 67/3 suddenly.
