Pitch: 4 - Normal
Weather: 1 - Hot and humid - some assistance for swing bowlers
Toss: South Africa A
South Africa A won the toss, and mindful of the humid conditions, elected to bowl.
It backfired as a powerful innings of 80* from Inzamam-ul-Haq, promoted to number 3, propelled them to 174/6 from their 50 overs, probably a match winning score in these conditions.
Inzamam reached his 50 off 25 balls, and at one stage might have had thoughts of a hundred, but lost the strike a little in later overs.
With captain Imran contibuting 30, and a few others getting starts, Pakistan were never pressured.
None of the South Africa A bowlers stood out in a below par performance.
When South Africa A batted they were immediately in trouble, losing 4 early wickets to Wasim and Imran.
Cullinan threatened at late charge in making an entertaining half century, but with McMillan bogged down at the other end, the Pakistanis were never challenged.
Man of the Match was Inzamam-ul-Haq, his innings having set up a match winning total.
Pakistan won by 33 runs
