It was a battle of survival, a clash to cling on to the last hope of qualifying for the semifinals. In the end, it was South Africa who felt the pangs of defeat as they were trounced by 49 runs. Pakistan batted first and scored 308, mainly propelled by Haris Sohail's quickfire 89 off 59 balls. In reply, South Africa crumbled to 259 as none of the batsmen managed to convert their good starts into big innings. Wahab Riaz and Shadab Khan took three wickets apiece for Pakistan.
