00:00 South Africa and Pakistan locked horns in a historic, nail-biting ICC-ODI World Cup

00:15 encounter on Friday. The thrilling encounter, held at MH Dhamram Stadium in Chennai, concluded

00:22 with the proteas emerging victorious despite the Pakistan bowler's valiant fight.

00:27 Chasing a stiff target of 271, the South African batters kept their cool until the final over.

00:34 The last pair, Keshav Maharaj and Tabrez Shamsi, found the winning run for South Africa with

00:40 16 balls to spare. This unexpected result has left the Asian powerhouse Pakistan on

00:46 the brink of elimination from the tournament. Aidan Makram was the anchor for the South

00:51 African run chase, making a solid 91 of just 93 deliveries, but it was a game of shifting

00:57 fortunes as Pakistan bounced back, picking wickets in quick succession in the final overs.

01:04 With the ball, it was Shaheen Shah Afridi, Usama Mir and Mohd Wasim Jr who kept Pakistan

01:10 in the hunt. However, the match wasn't without its moment of drama. Pakistan all-rounder

01:17 Shahdaab Khan suffered a head injury in a run-out attempt and was replaced by spinner

01:22 Usama Mir, making him the first concussion substitute in the World Cup history.

01:28 Despite some quality knocks from skipper Babar Azam and South Shaquille, Pakistani batters

01:32 couldn't capitalise and were bowled out for a below-par score of 270. For the proteas,

01:39 left-arm spinner Tabrez Shamsi, who was playing his second World Cup game, shone with figures

01:44 of 4 for 60 and left-arm pacer Makhu Janssen returned with figures of 3 for 43. Janssen

01:52 was superb with the new ball, while Gerald Kowatzy also snapped up two wickets.

01:58 It all began with a maiden over from Janssen, who accounted for both the openers Abdullah

02:02 Shafiq and Imamul Haq as Pakistan slipped to 38 for 2 in the seventh over. However,

02:10 Pakistan captain Babar Azam tried to revive the innings and found some support from the

02:16 middle-order batters, but it wasn't enough. Babar scored yet another 50 but failed to

02:21 convert it into a big knock. Same was the story with South Shaquille, who also notched

02:26 up a 50, but the Pakistani team was bundled out for 270 inside 47 overs after electing

02:33 to bat first.
