SA vs PAK 2nd ODI LIVE: Fakhar Zaman slams his fifth ODI century in tough chase for Pakistan – After asked to bat first, South rode on four half-centuries from Quinton de Kock, Temba Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen and David Miller to set a mammoth 342-run target for Babar Azam’s Pakistan in the 2nd ODI at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Sunday.
Aiden Markram and Quinton de Kock gave South Africa a good start but in the 10th over, Markram, looking good with the bat, departed off a Faheem Ashraf delivery, failing to convert his good start.

After Markram’s wicket, de Kock and Bavuma anchored South Africa innings. Quinton de Kock also completed his 500 runs against Pakistan in the process. The duo put up a 114-run partnership for the second wicket to give South Africa a strong platform. But de Kock could not convert his fine knock to a century as he was scalped by Haris Rauf in the 31st over on 80. But the Proteas did not slow down as Rassie van der Dussen followed up his century with a quickfire 60 off 37 balls to put South Africa in command.
Bavuma too continued his fine run but failed to reach the three-figures after being dismissed on 92. There was a late cameo from David Miller, who hit 50 off 27 to help South Africa post 341/6 in 50 overs. For Pakistan, Haris Rauf was the most successful bowler with three scalps for 54 runs in his 10 overs.
