Pakistan vs South Africa highlights, World Cup 2023: SA secure dramatic 1-wicket win vs PAK

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: A big test for Marco Jansen, this one. He has performed for SA while batting first, giving them a late boost with quickfire knocks. The situation is pretty different this time with SA still requiring 65 to win. The Proteas still have 90 balls at their disposal, but pressure does funny things…

208/5 in 34 overs; target 271

SHAHEEN STRIKES! The Pakistan pacer did what he does best. Shaheen breaks a threatening partnership, removing Miller on 29. A good catch behind the wickets from Mohammad Rizwan

206/5 in 33.1 overs; target 271

Wasim jr. back on his feet and the batting duo plays out another Shaheen Afridi over without any damage. In fact, Markram attempts a glorious pull off the final ball but finds a fielder; only a single taken.

199/4 in 32 overs; target 271

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: Three runs off Haris' first over in his second spell. Markram does try to take on the pacer and even goes for a lofty shot through sweeper cover, but gets no timing. One bounce to fielder in the area

194/4 in 31 overs, target 271

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: Textbook defensive shots by both batters against Shaheen as the pacer returns for a second spell, and justifiably so.

191/4 in 30 overs; target 271

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: Pakistan need wickets and as expected, Shaheen Afridi is into the attack. He replaces Mohammad Wasim jr

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: Easy pickings for Markram. Iftikhar bowls in the slot and Markram smashes it over long-off for a big six. This is becoming a little too easy for both batters at the moment. A lot to think for Babar and co. as we go into a second drinks break of the innings

188/4 in 29 overs; target 271

Twice in one over, Wasim jr. finds the edge of Miller. A fielder is placed at first slip after the first edge flies for four. It doesn't make much of a difference, as the second edge flies high above the fielder for another boundary. PAK need a wicket and they need it quick

180/4 in 28 overs; target 271

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: As the commentator on-air says… IT'S MILLER TIME AT THE CHEPAUK! A second six for Miller – again against Usama Mir. Fuller and Miller goes the same direction as his previous six. This one flies 92m!

168/4 in 27 overs; target 271

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: With a boundary placed perfectly between backward point and short third man, Markram reaches his half-century.

154/4 in 25 overs; target 271

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: Tight over from Wasim jr as he concedes only one. The pacer relies on short length against the left-handed Miller and the SA batter chooses not to unleash too hard until the last ball. However, the fielder at cover intercepts and there's no run

146/4 in 24 overs; target 271

136/4 in 21.4 overs; target 271

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: Klaasen starts Usama Mir's second over -- and innings' 21st -- with a massive six. A full toss from Usama and Klaasen gives it the treatment it deserves. 9 off the over

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: Heinrich Klaasen receives a rousing reception as he joins Markram at the crease

Usama Mir, arriving as a concussion substitute, strikes immediately! van der Dussen is trapped in front of stumps and he takes the review.

The SA batter, however, is dismissed by the barest of margins. The ball barely kisses past the leg-stump and hence, it's umpire's call.

121/3 in 18.5 overs; target 271

Easy singles on offer for both batters, and frustratingly repetitive captaincy call from Babar. No pressure on either of the two batters as there are no close-in fielders to stop the singles, or urge the batters to go big.

118/2 in 18 overs; target 271

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: Bad news for Pakistan. Shadab won't be returning to the field. Usama Mir is stepping in as his concussion substitute. Shadab suffered a head injury while attempting to make that stop, and the medical staff recommends a replacement for him.

5 singles off the over from Haris, and deceives van der Dussen on the final ball. The delivery was full, and after landing, it got some movement away. It managed to elude van der Dussen's bat as he extended it towards the ball.

107/2 in 15 overs; target 271

Nawaz is brought back into the attack but no change in intent for Markram. A loose delivery from Nawaz and the SA batter goes back in his crease, creates space and pulls the ball brilliantly over midwicket for a six.

102/2 in 14 overs. target 271

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: A brilliant upper-cut that goes for a six, and a swing-and-a-miss two balls later against Haris Rauf. Markram is in a hurry it seems...

93/2 in 13 overs. target 271

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: Two fours and a double from Markram off Wasim jr's last three balls. That has been the problem with Pakistan. A few good balls, followed by a couple of lose deliveries that allow batter to open their arms and break free of the shackles.

85/2 in 12 overs; target 271

A beautiful cover drive from Markram against Haris Rauf – his first four of the innings. Full from Haris and Markram pounces on it, dispatches it with absolute disdain and ball races towards the boundary. Haris bowls a fierce bouncer on very next ball and gives the SA batter a stare. It's heating up in Chennai!

74/2 in 11 overs, target 271

Aiden Markram replaces Temba Bavuma in the middle. Haris Rauf continues from the other end and van der Dussen is hit on the helmet. Physio tends to him but the SA batter looks fine

70/2 in 10.3 overs; target 271
