    5.2 Lands it a touch short and attacks his body, chest height and it's an irresponsible shot, trying to manufacture a difficult shot from that angle and height, clears his front leg and pulls it in the air, holes out to Maphaka at midwicket, has struggled to execute the pull and once again the shot backfires. Brilliant adjustment of line and successfully cramped him for room 42/2
    4.3 need to dot in some quiet overs. Looped full and skids on at middle and leg, he yanks front leg out of the way to sweep and misses it completely, adjudged lbw straightaway but he wants another opinion from the folks upstairs. Might have pitched outside leg, we got all three reds and this is a massive breakthrough, excellent bowling change to break the rhythm and tempo; they were enjoying pace. Caught deep and wasn't able to get into the right position, the change of length worked perfectly for Linde 38/1
    17.4 Hits deck hard and slants this back in at him, hurried him into a pull and there was almost a collision between Rabada and Maphaka - former was charging in from deep but he pulled out of it as Maphaka got there in no time, running back to complete the catch, Rabada said it was his catch but Maphaka was off like a bullet train and all's well that ends well 112/5
    9.2 Good bounce and carry. That took off alarmingly and quickly towards him, 142 kph snorter rising from a shorter length and on an irksome off-stump line, pokes at it and ends up edging it to the keeper, big wicket so after a good powerplay, UAE are faltering and South Africa are tightening the screws 64/3
    13.4 Short and slanted towards his. body, looks away and pulls in the air, easy running catch for Maphaka, that was fired at him and he was in shape to execute that shot and was ruffled by the pace, that's his go-to delivery to take wickets 82/4
    19.2 Back of a length and a little outside off, takes him on and goes for the pull, good elevation but not enough distance, Smith takes a regulation catch at deep midwicket, UAE struggle to inject the much-needed impetus towards the end. Needed a fiery finish but South Africa pulled things back majestically, showing their quality 119/6

    2.6 Oh, gets his man, tremendous riposte! brings an end to all his gung ho-ness. Zips it quicker on a length and it straightens a touch, beating his attempted pull, lovely deception in the flight and Ali is absolutely pumped up! Smart bowling and he tried to lift it across the line, missed it, big breakthrough 32/1
    5.4 Sticks to his plans, lands it short and wide, swerves away a touch, he throws his bat at it and finds the man at deep backward point! Massive wicket, de Kock after a blazing start. Both openers back in the hut inside the powerplay so job well-done. This might help them stymie the run-flow; only way they can stay alive is by picking wickets at regular intervals. 56/2
    10.4 How do you like that? Lovely running and diving catch from Parishar! Rocked back and targeted deep square boundary, was floated outside off and he wanted to continue along his merry way, didn't want to slow down, ball was dragged down and spun back a little, touch late on the shot and just not able to hit it with full ferocity 105/3
    11.4 Up in the air and miscued the skier! Wanted to hoist that over long-off and Harshit (sub) charges in from the deep and takes a safe catch, would be gutted to lose wicket and not get his side over the line. Not on top of the ball and forcing it downtown. Arfan strikes, bowlers just don't have the luxury of runs to attack 116/4
