The Proteas held on to fend off a counter-attack from Pakistan in an absolute thriller, securing all their place in the semi-finals
It looks like we possibly would have made it, yes, it looks like we would have made it to the end.
Here is the published game report:
That’s it for us today, it’s great to have a humdinger to awaken the senses. Thanks to Tanya for covering the first pass with the same aplomb as always and thanks to you for sticking with us.
The OBO will return with Australia vs. Australia. New Zealand – The Battle of the Moat.
Bye bye!

(Nicolás asks him about the atmosphere in the locker room)
It’s a bit of chaos right now! The kids like it, I think some chose Shamsi. It’s an exciting ending, if you’re a South African fan you’re a little happier. We didn’t do well in the search, but it will be easier to have those conversations now.
I think we obviously have a plan to attack first. . . We clearly do a more clinical demonstration with the bat as we go along.
I’m excited for him. He came in favorable situations and took advantage of them, and then with the stick at the end. I think you may have noticed Shamsi on social media enjoying his stick!We needed it and, luckily for us, it worked out.
It’s very disappointing, we fought well but we were ten or fifteen races short. I think the fast shooters played well but the result wasn’t on our side.
It’s a component of the game. . . It’s disappointing for everyone (Pakistani fans), we had a chance to win this game and stay in the tournament, but we missed it. We’ll do our thing in our next 3 games and we’ll make our matrix, let’s see. where we are then.
