Babar Azam's anticipated T20 comeback ended in disappointment as he was dismissed for a duck, contributing to Pakistan's 55-run defeat by an under-strength South Africa team.
South Africa's innings was bolstered by Reeza Hendricks' 60 and George Linde's hard-hitting 36, setting a total of 194-9 after electing to bat first.
Pakistan failed to mount a successful chase, with Corbin Bosch's twin strike, including the critical wicket of Babar, paving the way for a comprehensive South African victory.
