His 103 trumps van der Dussen’s unbeaten 123 for hosts
A century by Babar Azam set up a three-wicket last-ball win for Pakistan in the first ODI against South Africa at SuperSport Park on Friday. Chasing a target of 274, Babar and Imam-ul-Haq (70) put on 177 for the second wicket, taking the visitors to within 88 runs of victory with 18.2 overs left when the former was caught behind off speedster Anrich Nortje. Babar hit a stroke-filled 103 off 104 balls, but his dismissal triggered a collapse as Nortje took four wickets in four overs. Mohammad Rizwan and Shadab Khan steadied the innings with a sixth-wicket stand of 53 before both fell. However, Faheem Ashraf hit the winning run off the final ball.
