Pakistan vs South Africa Match Highlights & Results

That ends yet another weekend in the World Cup. The new week will be begun by two competitive teams - Bangladesh and Afghanistan at The Rose Bowl, Southampton. The match begins at 10.30 am local (0930 GMT). ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

Victorious Pakistan captain, Sarfaraz Ahmed, credits the win to a team effort. Praises Babar Azam and then Haris Sohail. On being asked why Sohail was not played earlier, Ahmed says that team combination did not allow them to field him. Compares his innings of today to Jos Buttler's heroics at the death. Admits that the fielding was very poor and they have to work very hard and sort out these things. Praises all the bowlers - first Amir for setting things up with the new ball, then Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim in the middle and Shaheen Afridi in the remaining part.

South African skipper, Faf du Plessis, admits that the Proteas did not play good cricket at all in this tournament. Adds that even in this game, the new-ball bowlers did not get off to a good start and allowed Pakistan to run away with the game. Says that 300 on this wicket was a bit too much. On the batting department, du Plessis says that lack of partnerships was the key but puts it down mainly to lack of confidence within the group. On Imran Tahir, Faf says that the leggie was exceptional, leading the attack consistently but rues the fact that there have not been enough guys like him. On the biggest downside, du Plessis says that South Africa are not playing like South Africa, letting themselves down in terms of skill set.

HARIS SOHAIL HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH. He says it is tough when you are sitting out and waiting for an opportunity but was eager to play and grab the opportunity he gets. Ends by saying when he went to bat, he was told to build a partnership with Azam, things were not easy but he backed himself and it all went well.

In a forgetful tournament, only Imran Tahir and Rassie van der Dussen have been the bright spots for the Saffas. No one really stepped up with either bat or ball and their position shows in the points table. Pakistan move to 7th with 5 points. Please stay tuned for the presentation...

SOUTH AFRICA HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY KNOCKED OUT OF THE 2019 WORLD CUP. It was a disappointing start to their campaign and they never got going, except for a win against Afghanistan. Even in this game, their new-ball bowlers struggled, a perennial problem throughout this tournament while with the bat, only de Kock and du Plessis played an innings of any substance.

After winning the toss, Pakistan batsmen did a reasonable job of seeing off the new balls and then consolidated in the middle order and teed off at the death. With the ball, Mohammad Amir found his mojo while Wahab Riaz and Shadab Khan shares the spoils with 3 wickets each.

Pakistan are alive. This was the 'other' Pakistan which turned up today. They batted responsibly, piled on a big score and then bowled well to defend the total.

A single to finish! A full toss on the pads, Phehlukwayo hits it towards deep mid-wicket for one. PAKISTAN WIN BY 49 RUNS!

NOT OUT! Phehlukwayo is in! Amir bowls a slower one outside off. Andile swings but it goes off the outside edge which goes up in the air but lands well short of third man.

Replays roll in and they show that Andile is in.

Imran Tahir is the last man in!

OUT! This is why he wanted to get off strike! Wahab is just too good for him. Wahab lands this one middle and gets it to straighten. Ngidi plays the original trajectory and gets squared up. The ball goes past the outside edge and knocks the stumps behind.

BEATEN ALL ENDS UP! Another yorker just outside off, Ngidi fails to jam it out. He wants to get off strike and that was evident there. He was on the run as he was playing that shot.

A short ball, another slower ball, Andile is early into his pull shot and drags it through mid-wicket.

Good comeback! Shadab fires it on the stumps, AP pushes it back to the bowler.

SIX! That is probably the shot of the day! Lovely extension of the arms and gets the desired result. Length and around off, Morris lofts it with the straight bat and it clears the long off fence. This is a big over and still a ball to go.

FOUR! Very clever shot! Slightly shorter and outside off, Morris clears his front leg but then realizes he does not need to swing hard. Just uses the pace and guides it over point for a boundary.

Shorter and outside off, this is hit through covers for one.

Good length and on off, this is pushed to cover.

Chris Morris walks out to bat next.

OUT! TIMBER! Game, set and match for Pakistan? Probably yes! Miller had to go for it, the run rate kept on increasing and he perishes in the attempt to do so. He takes a few steps down and Shaheen Afridi bowls it slightly shorter on middle. Miller looks to heave it but misses and the ball hits the top of leg stump.

Powerplay 3 is signaled. Maximum of 5 fielders can be outside the circle till the end of the innings.

NOT OUT! There is an inside edge! South Africa will breathe a huge sigh of a relief! The googly on middle, Miller looks to sweep but he seems to have missed it. The ball hits him on the pads. An appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Miller reviews immediately. Time for the replays and they show there is an inside edge. The on-field call has to be overturned. But just three runs and a wicket from the over. 120 needed in the last 10.

Has Shadab got another? Miller has been given out LBW. Looks out. This will probably be the game for Pakistan if this is an unsuccessful review.

Flatter and on off, this is slapped to point.

Andile Phehlukwayo walks in next.

OUT! Pakistan finally hang onto one. A very good catch this by Hafeez. Also, clever bowling from Shadab. He slows it up and bowls it outside off, it is the leg spinner. It pitches and turns away. Rassie looks to hit it against the spin, over the leg side but gets a top edge. It goes high in the air, so high that it probably has snow on it as it comes down. Sarfaraz goes for it and Hafeez from point is also interested. The latter calls for it, Sarfaraz lets it be and Mohammad takes it with a dive to his right.

Leading edge but safe! the googly on middle, Miller looks to work it on the leg side, against the turn. He gets a leading edge past the bowler and down to long off for one.

Flatter and on middle, this is worked through wide long on. They take on, think of a second but then bail out.

WIDE! But turn there and uneven bounce! This is flatter and outside off, it pitches and turns away and also stays low. Rassie looks to cut but misses. It is wided.

Shorter and outside off, this is cut to point.

Shadab Khan again. 7-1-35-2 so far.

Third strike! Miller walks down the track and Wahab bowls it short. Miller looks to pull but does not connect.

Swings but only connects with thin air! Good length and just outside off, Miller looks to hit it over the mid-wicket fence but misses.

Length and around off, Miller looks to force it through the off side but misses.

Lovely, lovely bowling! It was above 140 KPH all this while and this time he comes down to 118 KPH. Rassie is way too early in the pull. It hits him on the body and rolls on the off side. The batters take one. Once again no signal from the umpire so there might be an inside edge.

Down the leg side, Rassie swings but misses. Van der Dussen will feel he missed out there, had he got bat on that, a boundary was on offer. It has been wided though.

Nice shot! Full and on off, Miller times it beautifully towards the bowler. He makes a half-stop but can't stop the single.

Right on the helmet! A short one and it is a well-directed bouncer. Rassie is beaten by pace. He looks to pull but the ball hits the helmet and rolls on the leg side for one. No signal from the umpire so there might be bat involved.

In the air... but wide! Slower one on middle, Miller ends up dragging his stroke just wide of the diving Amir at mid on. Deep mid-wicket gets across and keeps it down to two. A huge over this, 14 from it. They need a lot of big overs like this. 127 needed in 72.

A single now! Full and on middle, this is jammed out to point for a quick run. The fielder does have a shy but he misses. Had he hit, Miller was a goner.

SIX! High and handsome! That made a cracking sound of the bat! Rassie goes down on one knee early, it is in his slot. A length ball, he heaves it over the mid-wicket fence. 11 from the over so far, two balls to go.

Slower one and fuller in length, Miller strokes it to long on for one.

A dot on the second though! Short and outside off, Miller looks to pull but misses as the ball stays low.
