A milestone for Babar Azam:

It is also worthy to mention that Babar Azam is the only skipper to beat South Africa in T20I in Asia.

Concluding the innings:

After winning the toss, the hosts decided to bowl first and conceded an average target of 165 on Gadaffi’s pitch.

SA lost their early wickets, but they could have snatched the game as their mid-over was astonishing to witness with David Miller’s unbeatable inning.
