Pakistan v South Africa 2007-08 / Scorecard

South Africa in Pakistan ODI Series - 1st ODI

Pakistan v South Africa

South Africa won by 45 runs

ODI no. 2633 | 2007/08 season
Played at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
18 October 2007 - day/night (50-over match)


South Africa innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
HH Gibbs	run out (Imran Nazir/†Kamran Akmal)	102	180	128	11	1	79.68
42.6 from Sohail Tanvir, run out as he slips while turning for the second run. It was delivered from wide of the crease, full and on the off stump line, Gibbs whips it to left of long leg, completes the first run but slips while turning. And that leaves him well short of the crease as Akmal collects the throw and takes out the bails. End of a fab innings from Gibbs. 234/3
GC Smith*	run out (Mohammad Hafeez/†Kamran Akmal)	34	78	43	5	0	79.06
14.3 Umar Gul to Gibbs, fuller, on the middle and leg, worked past square leg. Smith turns for the second run but is sent back by Gibbs, who had taken a couple of steps initially, and can't beat Hafeez's one-bounce throw to Akmal. Gone. Pakistan get a breakthrough. SA 85 for 1. Smith was looking pretty good out there. 85/1
JH Kallis	c & b Shahid Afridi	8	14	11	1	0	72.72
17.5 Afridi strikes. Big wicket of Kallis. Loopy delivery, full and dipping, spinning in from the middle and leg, Kallis pushes at it, beaten by the combo of the drift and the spin, and ends up scooping it straight to Afridi. 97/2
AB de Villiers	not out	103	125	95	9	3	108.42

JM Kemp	lbw b Sohail Tanvir	1	7	5	0	0	20.00
44.3 From wide of the crease again, it landed outside off stump, full in length and cut in, Kemp pushed at it tentatively and is struck just outside off stump. It was too close for the umpire to pick in real time and the fatal finger goes up. 238/4
MV Boucher†	c Younis Khan b Iftikhar Anjum	14	25	16	1	0	87.50
48.6 Straight to Younis Khan at long-off. Another low full toss, on the off and middle this time, Boucher hits it straight down the throat of Younis. One final over left to go. Can SA reach 300? 288/5
SM Pollock	not out	5	4	5	0	0	100.00

Extras	(lb 16, w 8, nb 3)	27

Total	(5 wickets; 50 overs; 219 mins)	294	(5.88 runs per over)

Pakistan innings (target: 295 runs from 50 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
Mohammad Hafeez	c Botha b Ntini	6	37	24	0	0	25.00
7.3 And they continue to combust. Banged in short, at the body and Hafeez pulls it limply to square leg. Ntini has got all the three wickets. 37/3
Imran Nazir	c Kemp b Ntini	16	17	10	3	0	160.00
3.3 What a reflex catch by Kemp at short cover. Imran drilled a fullish delivery on the off stump to left of Kemp - that was travelling at some rate - who manages to catch it with both hands. Blinder. 18/1
Younis Khan	c †Boucher b Ntini	12	9	8	2	0	150.00
5.4 Ntini drags back the length and is immediately rewarded. Short in length, gets extra bounce even as it holds its line outside off and Younis stabs at it, bat away from the body, and can only manage to get a edge to Boucher. 30/2
Mohammad Yousuf	c Smith b Kallis	53	130	75	3	0	70.66
35.1 Kallis strikes right away. Off cutter, full and on the middle and off, Yousuf leaned forward only to whip it straight to Smith at midwicket. 152/6
Shoaib Malik*	c Gibbs b Ntini	18	18	14	3	0	128.57
11.5 Ntini strikes again. The pattern continues. Two boundaries and out. It landed short in length, on the middle and leg and Malik tried to clip it across but instead, got a leading edge to cover. 55/4
Misbah-ul-Haq	c †Boucher b Langeveldt	20	44	35	2	0	57.14
20.5 And the bouncer does the trick now. It was part of the plan. It was banged in short, rearing up at the head and Misbah was late on the pull shot and top-edged a dolly to Boucher who ran back a few paces to take it. 92/5
Kamran Akmal†	b Kallis	35	69	55	3	0	63.63
37.6 Done in by the slower one. Akmal charged out and completely missed a heave across the line. 172/7
Shahid Afridi	c de Villiers b Morkel	47	55	26	5	2	180.76
45.4 Afridi is gone. Pakistan's hopes sink. Full pitched on the stumps, Afridi backed away and heaved it straight to long-on. Gone. What a fab innings it was though. Brutal, as ever, and he did scare a few South Africans. 246/9
Sohail Tanvir	b Langeveldt	26	21	17	1	2	152.94
42.1 The leg stump has been pegged back. Sohail shuffled across the sticks to whip another delivery over square leg but missed it completely. Useful cameo from Sohail. 215/8
Iftikhar Anjum	run out (Langeveldt/Botha)	9	25	12	1	0	75.00
46.3 from Botha, Game over. SA have won. Rao went down the track, drove to long-off and turned blind for the second. He was sent back by Gul but slipped as he turned back. Botha did the final rites and SA have taken the first ODI. 249/10
