Klaasen was captaining South Africa in the absence of the injured Temba Bavuma, while Markram was a late inclusion in a side hit by a spate of injuries. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-livescore\/scorecard\/13071973143\/pakistan-tour-of-south-africa-t20-1\">Scorecard<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Proteas were also without five players whose contracts with their Indian Premier League teams took precedence. Left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz took two for 21, bowling three of his four overs in the opening power play, while fast bowler Hasan Ali took two for 28.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>South Africa named three new caps in all-rounder Wihan Lubbe and fast bowlers Sisanda Magala and Lizard Williams. Pakistan included two players, Haider Ali and veteran Mohammad Hafeez, who were not part of their winning one-day international team in a series that ended on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n",
