Imam-ul-Haq and Haris Sohail hit half-centuries as the touring Pakistanis beat a South African Invitation XI by six wickets at Willowmoore Park on Friday. Earlier left-arm fast bowler Mohammad Amir, recalled to the Test squad, took three for 35 before the Invitation team declared their second innings on 182 for seven. First innings centurions Azhar Ali and Babar Azam did not bat in the second innings. Left-handers Imam and Haris batted fluently in a third wicket partnership of 96 in 21.5 overs to set up the win. Imam made 66 off 93 balls, while Haris was unbeaten on 73 off 87 deliveries.
