South Africa script Rawalpindi history in T20Is after thrashing Pakistan in the series opener

South Africa became the first team in seven completed T20Is in Rawalpindi to win the game batting first as they hammered Pakistan by 55 runs, after the hosts opted to field first in the series opener on Tuesday, October 28. It was a fresh wicket and hence, both captains wanted to chase, also because Rawalpindi is usually very flat and remains true for the whole 40 overs, but losing the toss proved to be a blessing in disguise for the Proteas, eventually.
