Waqar Younis 0* (7b) SM Pollock 9.5-1-12-3 (1w)
SOuth AFrica won by 132 runs
A convincing win for South Africa who looked to be in trouble early
in their innings
A match winning performance from Rhodes turned the tables and set
it up for Pollock to smash the ball around in the final overs
Pollock might get close for MoM, but Rhodes should walk away with
the award
Another good bowling display from all the South Africans with
Pollock 3/12
Pakistan bowlers, apart from Wasim AKram who bowled brilliantly,
have a lot of work to do
Razzaq will be the most disapointed, having bowled both sides of
the wicket, bowled short, and well inside his normal pace
Pakistan might also on the South AFrican pitches find problems with
the opening batsmen who did not look at home on the bouncy wickets
Man of the Match is indeed Jonty Rhodes
We will be back with you on Wednesday for the 2nd ODI from Port
Elizabeth
