Iftikhar Ahmed struck half-centuries to propel Pakistan to a challenging 185/9.
Pakistan lost three wickets in the Powerplay before Iftikhar joined hands with Mohammad Nawaz for a recovery. The pair took the score to 95 before being separated. And then the innings exploded with Shadab Khan peppering SCG boundary. He struck a quickfire fifty while Iftikhar peeled off a well-crafted half-century of his own. South Africa were guilty of some poor fielding as they dropped several catches.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam opted to bat first. This is a must-win game for them and Babar said the plan is to put South Africa under scoreboard pressure. South Africa captain Temba Bavuma said he would have batted first as well and now hopes his bowlers will be able to limit Pakistan to a low score. Both the teams have changes – Mohammad Haris replacing Fakhar Zaman in Pakistan playing XI while Heinrich Klaasen and Tabraiz Shamsi replacing injured David Miller and Keshav Maharaj respectively.
Match Preview
South Africa, the only unbeaten team in the T20 World Cup 2022, need to win just one of their remaining two matches of the Super 12 to seal their passage to the semfinals. And they will be aiming to do today when they take on Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground to become the first team advance. On the other hand, Pakistan aren’t mathematically out of the race but they not only need to win their remaining two matches of the Group 2 but also hope for an Indian defeat against Zimbabwe on Sunday which will ensure they are level on points and thus the team with a better net run-rate will edge ahead.
