Hi guys!
Hope all of you are fine and enjoy a happy life. My name is baidar bukht. And i am tell you the match playing between pakistan and south africa
So let's start
Match started at 11.20pm: Time for the captains, starting with Temba Bavuma: [Pakistan recovery from 43-4] "Definitely disappointing the way we ended our bowling and fielding. Getting them four down early. We have questions to ask and need to come up with solutions. Credit to them, they had the momentum and took it with them through the bowling innings. We knew the weather could be an issue. The bowlers practice these things, but its difficult. We probably didn't adapt quick enough, and we could have tried to use the bigger side more. Not an excuse, but they're things we'll speak about. Netherlands next, a big game. Want to put this game past us as quickly as possible and come again."
Pakistan captain Babar Azam: "Very happy the way the team performed. Me and Rizwan were not up to the mark, but the way Haris played, he's a different player and shifted the momentum. Then Shadab and Ifti were outstanding in finishing the innings. [Best XI now?] These are out best players and everyone is ready to play. Everyone is a match-winner. First two matches were close losses, but we've given 100% in the last two matches and you never know, cricket is a funny game, we hope for the best."
Scorecard:
So Pakistan are up to third in Group 2, clinging to the coattails of South Africa, who lose their record as the last unbeaten team in the tournament. There's one round of games left, and four sides still hoping to progress - a similar equation to that in Group 1, where the focus will return tomorrow, with New Zealand facing Ireland and Australia looking to keep their defence alive against Afghanistan. For tonight, from Chacha Alan and Badmash PDP, not to mention Raghav bhai, that's a wrap. Cheerio!
Statistics:
11.15pm: Fittingly, Shadab has the ball in hand as a strong Pakistan-supporting crowd rises to acknowledge their team's second win of the tournament. They'll need a favour from somewhere - either Netherlands, Zimbabwe or the weather - but know that there's still a potential path to the semis if they can beat Bangladesh in their last outing
Shadab Khan is Player of the Match for his 22-ball 52 and cheap two-for: [Ever timed the ball better?] "I've done it in the PSL, but this is an international match and a World Cup match, so it's the best. The pitch was nice, a bit slow but the ball came on nicely. [Bowling] First ball, I tried to bowl on the stumps, bowled slow and it gripped a bit. Paid off. [Bat higher up?] I like it, depends on the situation and the team."
