PAK vs SA: South Africa held off a late Pakistani comeback to win by one wicket in Chennai and move to the top. Aiden Markram scored 91 runs but was dismissed in the 41st over, allowing Pakistan to mount a successful comeback.

Wasim Jr. was bowling his last in the 47th, and Shaheen, Haris and Mohammad Nawaz had already finished their spells. Keshav Maharaj, however, could go for the big shots. He sealed the match with a four in the 48th against Mohammad Nawaz.

Babar had won the toss earlier and decided to bat first at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Marco Jansen was able to stifle the Pakistani openers and stifle their attempts at scoring runs.

Gerald Coetzee then dismissed Mohammad Rizwan in the 16th over, just as Babar and Mohammad Rizwan appeared to be forming a dangerous partnership.

Pakistan lost Iftikhar Ahmad and then Babar, who fell trying to scoop Shamsi when he was 50. Shadab and Saud Shakeel, however, have given Pakistan some momentum since with a counterattacking partnership.

They scored 84 runs off 71 deliveries before Shadab was out on 36 balls after scoring 43. Shakeel then went on to reach a half-century. Shakeel fell after 52 balls. Pakistan was eventually out of balls for 270.

Tabraiz Hamsi Player Of The Match

I knew I had to perform a task there, but I also knew the guys who came before me did a great job. You know, I was really happy. I played enough cricket to know that it can go either way.

So, when it is going my way, I am happy to be able to contribute. Those are the most important four runs he has ever scored. It is probably the most important four runs that he has ever scored in his life…the key to holding your nerves at the end was because it’s tempting when you see spinners play a large shot and try and complete it early…boys would not welcome me back into the changing room.

There was no doubt that I would play a big shot, and strangely, it was quite nice. These are the moments you practice for on the big stage.

Temba Bavuma After Match

It’s chaos right now, but the guys are enjoying themselves. The Guys are picking up Shamsi. If you’re a South African, you might be happier. We could have done better in chasing.

It will be easier now to have these conversations. We’ve shown that we have a plan, but it is not certain we can say the same thing when chasing. We want to demonstrate more clinical displays with the bat. Rabada is good. He is suffering from a lower back spasm.

I am confident he will be in contention for the New Zealand match. Shamsi is a great player. He took advantage of the favourable conditions, and he exploited them.

You have seen Shamsi boasting on social media about his bat. We needed this today, and fortunately, he delivered.

Babar Azam After Match

We were 10 to 15 runs short. Very disappointing. The fast bowlers did well, but the results were off our side. It’s part and parcel of the sport and the umpire calls. It’s a part of it.

It’s a disappointment for everyone. We had the chance to win the match and remain in the tournament, but we didn’t. We will put in all our efforts and try to win our next three games. Let’s see how we do after three matches.
