Captain David Miller led South Africa to a dramatic seven-run victory over Pakistan in Johannesburg as the hosts took an unassailable 2-0 lead in their T20 series.

Miller, leading the team in the absence of the rested Faf du Plessis, blasted an unbeaten 65 off just 29 balls, including five sixes and four fours, as his side posted 3-188 from their 20 overs having been put in by the tourists.

Pakistan's reply got off to an impressive start, reaching 147 from 16 overs for just the loss of opener Fakhar Zaman.

However, the departure of Babar Azam, who hit 13 fours and a six in his 58-ball knock of 90, sparked something of a collapse.

Asif Ali, Hussain Talat, Imad Wasim, Shoaib Malik and Hasan Ali all followed in short order as the tourists lost six wickets for just 34 runs inside the final 24 balls to slump to 7-181.
