The tourists needed to scramble a run off the final ball to win. Pakistan only needed three runs off the final over but Shadab Khan (33) fell to the first ball and South Africa seamer Andile Phehlukwayo bowled another three dot balls to heighten the tension.

Faheem Ashraf finally made contact off the fifth ball with a chip over the bowler's head for two.

He flicked the final ball of the game through the covers for a single to reach 274-7 and put Pakistan 1-0 up in the three-game series.

Earlier, put in to bat South Africa scored 273/6. Their innings was rescued by 123 not out from Rassie van der Dussen and 50 by David Miller.  South Africa and the new limited-overs captain Bavuma  will be looking for a better response from the side when they meet in Johannesburg on Sunday.
