ICC Champions Trophy 2017: Pakistan upset South Africa to reignite semi-final hopes
Australia will be desperately hoping to play a full game under clear skies when they face arch-rivals England in their must-win ICC Champions Trophy 2017 clash at Edgbaston, Birmingham today. While England are already through to the semifinals, all the pressure will be on Australia to perform after washouts against New Zealand and Bangladesh hurt their chances of making the last four. Australia had to share points with both their previous opponents and now face a bizarre situation
where they could be out of the tournament without playing a full game.Pakistan completed a remarkable turnaround to beat South Africa by 19 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method in their day/night Group B Champions Trophy match at Edgbaston on Wednesday and so maintain their hopes of a semi-final place. (PAK vs SA HIGHLIGHTS) This was Pakistan's first win in the Champions Trophy after eight years, having last won a match against India in the 2009 group game in Centurion. Since that win, Pakistan had lost six consecutive games, including all their games in the 2013 edition. (PAK vs SA SCORECARD) Just three days after conceding a total of 319 for three in a 124-run thrashing by arch-rivals and title-holders India at Edgbaston in their first match of this one-day international tournament, Pakistan held South Africa to a score of 219 for eight at the Birmingham ground.
Hasan Ali was the star of the show for Pakistan with a haul of 3/24, but it was Imam Wasim's two wickets of Hashim Amla (16) and AB de Villiers (0) for a golden duck that turned the course of the game. Only David Miller, with 75 not out, offered any top-order resistance as he rescued the Proteas from a precarious position at 118/6.Pakistan completed a remarkable turnaround to beat South Africa by 19 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method in their day/night Group B Champions Trophy match at Edgbaston on Wednesday and so maintain their hopes of a semi-final place.
