<\/p>\nPakistan are 80-2 at the end of 10 overs in their 165-run chase against South Africa in the third and final Twenty20 international in Lahore on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Mohammad Rizwan and Haider Ali opened the innings for the home side. Rizwan, who top-scored for Pakistan in both the earlier T20Is, hit multiple boundaries in the opening overs.<\/p>\n
Pakistan lost their first wicket in the seventh over as Haider was bowled out by Tabraiz Shamsi.<\/p>\n

Reeza Hendricks and Janneman Malan opened the innings for the visitors. South Africa suffered an early setback after Hendricks was bowled by Mohammad Nawaz in the second over.<\/p>\n
The Proteas lost their second wicket soon after as Jon-Jon Smuts was caught out by Babar Azam on Nawaz’s ball.<\/p>\n
Just as it looked like South Africa was finding their footing after Pite van Biljon hit three boundaries off three balls, Hasan Ali got his revenge, bowling him out at the end of the over.<\/p>\n
Zahid Mahmood, who made his international debut in today’s match, got his first wicket when Proteas captain Heinrich Klaasen was caught out by Usman Qadir off Mahmood’s ball.<\/p>\n
He claimed his second wicket on the very next ball when Malan was ruled out lbw.<\/p>\n
The quick loss of wickets continued with Andile Phehlukwayo getting caught out on duck off leg-spinner Usman Qadir’s ball.<\/p>\n
Zahid claimed his third wicket in the 11th over, bowling out Dwaine Pretorius, the star of yesterday’s match.<\/p>\n
The wickets continued falling with Hasan bowling out Bjorn Fortuin in the 16th over.<\/p>\n
David Miller scored much-needed runs for the visitors after wickets fell in quick succession, hitting several boundaries to pick up 85 runs from 45 balls.<\/p>\n
With the series locked at one-all, Pakistan brought in leg-spinner Zahid Mahmood for his international debut.<\/p>\n
Also included are batsman Asif Ali and medium pacer Hasan Ali. The trio replaced Khushdil Shah, Iftikhar Ahmed and Haris Rauf.<\/p>\n
