South Africa vs Pakistan Score, Match 26 of Cricket World Cup 2023

FOUR! Mohammad Nawaz to Keshav Maharaj. Stock ball back of a length, middle stump on the back foot pulling, well timed past deep backward square leg for 4 runs. Brilliant scenes here in Chennai. The first proper thriller of this World Cup. South Africa were cruising along nicely in the chase but once Markram got out Pakistan came back strongly with some quick wickets. But Keshav Maharaj held his nerves to hit the winning runs. Kudos to the Pakistani bowlers for the fight they showed. Tabraiz Shamsi is the Player of the Match for his four-wicket haul. Join us for the double header tomorrow.
