260/8 in 45 overs; target 271

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: The pacer is battling cramps but still continues to bowl. He had earlier faced cramps twice in this innings; one wonders why he wasn't sent to rest when his overs at the end were going to be key for Pakistan…

South Africa require 17 now off 42 balls. After singles off the first three balls, Keshav Maharaj decides to play out the rest of the over. Both batters seem confident they can take on the Pakistan pace trio

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: SHAHEEN AFRIDI STRIKES! Coetzee departs. Is it time to bring the dreaded ‘C’ word again? Excellent delivery from Afridi and Coetzee knicks it for an easy catch to Rizwan

251/8 in 41.1 overs; target 271

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: Overs remaining are not really in the picture here; there's 9 of them. So, it is wickets vs runs.

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: Call it commentator's curse. The gamble to bring a spinner works as Usama Mir dismisses Aiden Markram! The batter goes for a big hit but there's no timing, and Babar Azam takes a fine catch. Can Pakistan make a comeback?

250/7 in 40.2 overs; target 271

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: Gerald Coetzee joins Aiden Markram at the crease. Surely, Markram would want to take more of the strike now

Quite an eventful over, this one from Haris. Jansen uses Rauf's pace to edge a short delivery past wicketeeper for a four, then sends a full ball straight over the ball for a six. In a bid to repeat his first four but this time through square, Jansen finds Babar and SA lose their sixth

235/6 in 36.5 overs; target 271

224/5 in 36 overs; target 271

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: Bizarre review, this one. Markram swings and misses, and on this rare occasion, there's no reaction from Rizwan.

Pakistan vs South Africa Live Score, World Cup 2023: A rather surprising decision from Babar as he goes for the spin option with the new batter in. Regardless, not much damage done as this over fetches 6.

214/5 in 35 overs; target 271
