SA vs PAK 2nd ODI: Faheem Ashraf breaks Temba Bavuma’s bat
After losing yet another toss and being asked to bat first, South Africa got off to an excellent start with their openers, Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram putting up a fine 55-run partnership. But then Markram got out in the 10th over after scoring 39 runs off 34 balls. However, in a very fascinating incident, South African skipper Temba Bavuma saw his bat getting broken after being hit by a 130 kmph delivery from Pakistani all-rounder Faheem Ashraf in the 16th over of the game.
