Pakistan boosted their slim hopes of progressing in the Men’s T20 World Cup with a brilliantly frenetic win against South Africa at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Pakistan launched a recovery from 48-4 to post 185-9 and then took regular wickets to deny South Africa in a chase shortened by rain to win by 33 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.
They are indebted to Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed, who combined for a wild partnership of 82 from 35 balls. Then, after Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram put on 49 in 27 balls to give South Africa hope, leg-spinner Shadab removed both within three deliveries.
