South Africa captain Temba Bavuma admitted on Friday night that despite some good batting exploits, his team lost control of the match against 1992 champions Pakistan who all but overcame the Proteas. 

For South Africa, No.9 Keshav Maharaj (7 not out off 21 balls) and No.11 Tabraiz Shamsi (4 not out off 6 balls) proved to be excellent crisis men and secured a thrilling one-wicket victory at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
