Ten days ago, Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha's stunning 260-run stand powered Pakistan to a record 353-run chase against South Africa in Karachi, securing a spot in the Tri-series final.

Babar Azam, who had been kept quiet early in his innings, briefly tried to pick up where Agha left off but fell to Mitchell Santner for 64 before Khushdil Shah gave the locals a glimmer of hope with a counter-attacking 69 from 49.

The required rate was just shy of 10 an over by the time Salman Ali Agha came in and showed some intent, but his 42 from 28 balls only kept it at that mark - and once he was dismissed it soon began to rise again.

Bowlers Mohammad Abbas and Salman Ali Agha took three wickets each, while Hamza and Khuram Shahzad claimed a pair apiece.

Rizwan was lbw sweeping, Salman Ali Agha trapped on the back leg and Aamer Jamal failed to pick a googly that he chopped on to his stumps.
