Summary Imad Wasim and Hasan Ali, two honourable mentions as far as bowling goes
(Web Desk) – Pakistan’s surprisingly satisfying bowling and fielding against South Africa in second face-off of Champions Trophy 2017 on Wednesday in Edgbaston has taken the disappointed nation by surprise.
Imad Wasim’s early two victims -- Amla and Proteas skipper AB de Villiers – set the ball rolling for the green side and it seemed to be a downhill for South Africa from there on.
Hasan Ali’s is another jersey that undoubtedly deserves a mention as the young cricketer earned a hat-trick chance with wickets on 22.5 and 22.6 overs. Though he couldn’t shape it into reality, he managed to clinch three wickets.
South Africa were 145 for 6 by 38 overs. Their innings closed at 219 at the loss of eight wickets.
Here is how the Twitterati have taken to the noticeable change in green shirts after a dismal loss against rival India last Sunday:
Amazing noise from the Pakistan fans today. Feels like the match is being played in Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar or Multan #CT17 #PakvSA

Great start Pakistan, outstanding bowling form Imad, Hafeez and Hassan. Pakistan must sustain momentum and look to dismiss SA under 200.
