Pakiatan Vs South Africa World Cup 2023: In a thrilling contest in Chennai, South Africa managed to fend off a late resurgence by Pakistan, securing a nail-biting one-wicket victory and claiming the top spot in the standings. The standout performance of the match came from Aiden Markram, who contributed an impressive 91 runs. However, Markram’s dismissal in the 41st over left South Africa requiring 21 runs for victory with just three wickets in hand

The momentum shifted as Pakistan’s Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf, along with Mohammad Wasim Jr., exerted significant pressure on South Africa’s tailenders over the following six overs, with the former two bowlers each taking a wicket. Nevertheless, in the 47th over, when Wasim Jr. bowled his final over and with Shaheen and Haris having already completed their spells, Keshav Maharaj seized the opportunity to take calculated risks. He eventually sealed the game with a crucial boundary against Mohammad Nawaz in the 48th over, securing a dramatic victory for South Africa.
