Olivier’s destruction continued when he dismissed Azhar Ali for a third-ball duck while Asad Shafiq (6) was caught behind off Dale Steyn and Babar Azam (6) bowled by Kagiso Rabada as Pakistan lost 5-41.
Captain and wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed endured a disastrous time at the crease as he bagged a pair, chasing a wide ball outside off stump from Rabada and was well caught by Faf du Plessis for a two-ball duck.
Paceman Olivier completed his maiden match 10-wicket haul when he bowled Yasir Shah for a golden duck and he took the final wicket of Pakistan’s innings, when Shaheen Shah Afridi was caught at long leg, to finish with 11 wickets in the game.
