The ICC Men’s World Cup 2023 match between Pakistan and South Africa in Chennai was a nail-biting encounter that concluded with South Africa securing a one-wicket victory. After winning the toss and opting to bat first, Pakistan posted a competitive total of 270 runs, thanks to half-centuries from Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel, and a valuable contribution from Shadab Khan. The South African bowling attack, led by Tabraiz Shamsi with four wickets and supported by Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee, kept the pressure on the Pakistani batsmen throughout their innings.
Chasing 271 for victory, South Africa had a rocky start, losing Quinton de Kock early. However, contributions from Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen, along with a crucial 91 from Aiden Markram, kept the Proteas in the hunt. The match went down to the wire, with Keshav Maharaj hitting the winning boundary in the 48th over, leaving South Africa with 16 balls to spare.
Pakistan’s bowling effort was highlighted by Shaheen Shah Afridi, who picked up three wickets. Haris Rauf, Mohammad Wasim, and Usama Mir each took two wickets, showcasing a strong bowling performance. Despite their efforts, Pakistan couldn’t prevent South Africa from reaching the target.
This result had significant implications for the World Cup standings, with South Africa moving to the top of the points table, ahead of India, while Pakistan found themselves in sixth place.
