00:00Lance Kluzner is the new batsman for South Africa, South Africa's man of the tournament to date, he's not been dismissed as yet, scored 164 runs.
00:12Wazimakram has brought himself back into the attack.
00:18That's a terrific shot from Lance Kluzner.
00:21It's a good ball from Wazimakram, nothing wrong with the delivery at all.
00:24Lance Kluzner though, he's in form, he's in good touch, has been all tournament and he just stood there then with a wide baseball stance, smashed it over Longhorn.
00:41That's a big six.
00:43A short delivery from Sacklane-Mustak.
00:47Lance Kluzner quickly onto it, it's a short leg side boundary.
00:50It's a big six nonetheless.
01:03Is Moen?
01:10And a welcome boundary, but it was a lucky one.
01:14Moen there for a moment thought the catch was on, so too Azamahmoud down at fine leg.
01:18And it's a no-ball.
01:21That would be very welcome from a South African point of view.
01:24Lance Kluzner getting that big bat, just an edge on it, it's carried a very long way.
01:28Great effort from Azamahmoud.
01:31He was always going to be a little bit short of it.
01:35Terrific finish.
01:37To what was rightly billed the match of the World Cup so far.
01:41Well, that's got miles.
01:46And that's good batting from Lance Kluzner.
01:56He realises that Shove's not going to pitch it up to him.
01:59So he's going for the mid-wicket boundary.
02:02Giving himself a little bit of room to swing it, baseball style.
02:05And that's come right off the middle.
02:08What will Shove do now?
02:10If he's smart, he'll go for the Yorker.
02:11He's smart.
02:24But it's gone for four.
02:26And it's signalled his leg by.
02:27And that really is unlucky for the bowler.
02:30But, my word, it keeps South Africa interested here.
02:35194 for seven.
02:3727 more to win.
02:38Deep mid-wicket out towards Longhorn.
02:44Also over extra cover.
02:49That's the first one.
02:50That's deep mid-wicket round towards Longhorn.
02:54Well, that boy didn't work.
02:55Sacklan has worked his magic the last over
02:58where he took all the pace off it.
03:01Losing the court in two miles.
03:02He stood still on that occasion and waited for it.
03:04And it was just a little bit too short
03:06and a little bit too slow.
03:08And that's just powered away.
03:11Come on, Grady, come on!
03:20Sacklan's a bit lucky to get away with that.
03:24200 up.
03:25In fact, he hit it too well.
03:27He'd hit a little bit fine.
03:28He would have got four.
03:29And here goes Kruzner again.
03:3137 not out and 38 balls.
03:33Two sixes, three fours.
03:34What a World Cup he's had.
03:45It's a wonderful shot.
03:47A wonderful shot.
03:51I think it's gone all the way.
03:54They're calling for Doug Cowey in the
03:55third umpire.
03:58I think you'll find that this is
03:59pitched just over the ropes.
04:07Oh yes, it's six of the best.
04:09Could be out.
04:21Oh, drop that.
04:23Take two.
04:24Take two.
04:24The chance for Said Anwar to take the catch.
04:33Agony on the face of Wasi Makram.
04:36Kruzner has played that looping, swirling shot
04:44that's gone over Said Anwar's head.
04:46He might just have got his fingertips to it.
04:50They've run two.
04:52It went so high that they'd completed one.
04:55And then they went through for the second
04:57and the winning run.
04:59Beautifully bowled by Sacklan.
05:01He really defeated him in the air again.
05:03Lance Kruzner, top edge.
05:05Said Anwar could have made himself a hero.
05:07They hardly laid a hand on it.
05:09He was never confident with that.
05:11Never got the hands in the right position
05:13at any stage.
05:14And the pressure just got straight to him.
05:16So disappointment for Pakistan.
05:19South Africa have won this game
05:22in the most unlikely fashion.
