Abdullah Shafique's eventful stay at the crease:
Before being dismissed, Abdullah Shafique survived nearly half a dozen close calls. He was close to getting dismissed in the very first over when he edged Kagiso Rabada's delivery towards third slip but Tristan Stubbs dropped a fairly easy chance.

He edged a ball behind the stumps, where wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne went for the catch but could only deflect the ball off his gloves. The ball went towards Aiden Markram at slip but he too failed to grab the ball.

Shafique survived another close call in the 46th over. He was beaten all ends up by Maharaj after he used his feet but could not get to the pitch of the ball. The ball spun away sharply and beat the Pakistan batter on the outside edge. However, the South Africa wicketkeeper could not collect the ball to dismiss Shafique.
