Pakistan to face South Africa in first T20 tonight

First Twenty20 international of the three-match series between Pakistan and South Africa will be played at Cape Town today (Friday).

According to details, the match will start at 9pm (PST).

Earlier, Quinton de Kock had scored a rapid half-century as South Africa defeated Pakistan by seven wickets at Newlands to claim the five-match one-day series 3-2.

Opener De Kock bludgeoned 83 from 58 balls as South Africa chased down their victory target of 241 with 10 overs remaining for a convincing win that will be a boost to their confidence four months before the World Cup in England.

The home side won the toss and elected to bowl, restricting Pakistan to 240 for eight in their 50 overs, with Fakhar Zaman the only batsman to register a half-century as he struck 70 from 73 balls.

South Africa open their World Cup campaign on May 30 against hosts England at The Oval, while Pakistan are in action a day later against the West Indies in Nottingham.
