South Africa is credited by Rizwan with playing better cricket than Pakistan.

Even though Pakistan lost their maiden Twenty20 International match against South Africa in Durban on Tuesday, skipper Muhammad Rizwan pointed out a number of the team’s strengths.

“There were many positives for us in this game, expressing optimism about the team’s performance,” stated Mohammad Rizwan in his post-match presentation.

South African players’ outstanding efforts and improved cricketing were praised by Rizwan.

He said, “David Miller and George Linde deserve the credit for this victory.” Additionally, South African spinners were praised by Mohammad Rizwan for their outstanding bowling and excellent use of the surface and conditions.

“We will attempt to recover in the next match,” the captain of the Pakistani cricket team promised.

In the first Twenty20 International of the three-match series, South Africa defeated Pakistan by 11 runs thanks to George Linde’s four-wicket haul and fast-paced 48.

Notwithstanding captain Mohammad Rizwan’s half-century, the green shirts, chasing a goal of 184 runs, could amass 172/8 in the 20 overs given.

In the first PAK against SA T20I in Durban, David Miller hammered 82 off 40 balls, and South Africa put 183 on the scoreboard.

South Africa chose to bat first after winning the toss, but they got off to a terrible start as Shaheen Afridi knocked out opening batsman Rassie van der Dussen for a duck in the opening over.

He was followed by his opening partner, Reeza Hendricks, who scored eight runs in the second over before being dismissed by spinner Abrar Ahmed.

Matthew Breetzke left the pitch after only contributing eight more runs to the total, indicating that his time there was likewise short.

But once he and captain Heinrich Klaasen rebuilt the inning, David Miller went on the attack against the Pakistani bowlers.

Eight sixes and four fours were among the 82 runs the left-handed batter scored off 40 deliveries.
