This is a DO or DIE for Pakistan. If Pakistan win this match, then the hope is still alive but a lost today will end the world cup dream for Pakistan.

I wonder if they ever even dream of it Cheesy

I think Pakistan will win this match easily. South Africa's recent performance is worse, Pakistan is well ahead of them. But they will not be able to qualify for Semi maybe, because almost 4 teams are showing their strength.

2 teams playing today for the pride and SA would just be unhappy the way they have played cricket this time in the WC and as a result are out of the WC. Pakistan is batting at 171/3 in 34 overs and should target to reach 320+ so that they can put pressure on SA.

Pakistani batting line done good job even they are short of 20 to 25 runs but bowlers give them some good start as Aamir sent Amla back in his first over lets see what is response from others in remaining match.

Yes, the batsmen of Pakistani team played nicely today. However, a very big question arises, why didn't PCB selection select Haris Sohail (in place of Shoaib Malik) in previous matches of the world cup? He nearly scored a century today, with a very good run-rate. After such an awesome performance by Haris Sohail, I think Shoaib Malik's career has come to an end.

Shoaib Malik has already announced his retirement from ODI after the world so it does not matter much to him how he play. He is not sincere to the team and did not deserve to be included in the World cup squad.
I think his inclusion in the team has something to do with Sania Mirza.

Today England done very reasonable job and restrict Australia 285 which is not good enough for Australia to defend even Finch and warner play very good and give very good opening stand more then 120+ runs lets see what is response from English battling line up as now they are very hot favorite for winning this match.

Edit: look like its going to be very interesting as Australia have first wicket just on second ball of English inning.

Edit: Root gone and England 15/2 look like its Aussies day as they have very strong start of second session.

Pakistan had their first large win but they are already out of the competition, don't know about the mathematical probability but there's no way for Pakistan to reach Semis from here. Neither do South Africa. Sri Lanka with 2 abandoned games is in better position than Bangladesh and Pakistan but till the end, we'd find out who the number 5 is.

By now, three teams have almost confirmed their semi-final berths (New Zealand, Australia and India). England has a 90% chance, and they should grab the final spot if nothing catastrophic happens. For Bangladesh, if they win today's match against Afghanistan then they'll be left with 7 points from as many matches. They need to win both the remaining matches (against India and Pakistan), to have any chance of reaching the playoffs.

Quite hard for Bangladesh to fight back against both the teams, still the play from Bangladesh team is much appreciable than other countries that are much expected to grab their place on the top of the table. I see good consistence with the team which isn't found much with the teams like Pakistan and West Indies for some reason.

I would admit that Bangladesh had done much better than what was expected from them. And don't lose hope yet. IMO, they are the favorites in the match against Pakistan. Beating India is going to be extremely difficult, but not impossible. They need to win both the matches, because ENG are having 3 matches remaining and can get to SF if they win any two of them.

England yet to play with top 3 teams, Australia, New Zealand, and India and that's not gonna be an easy task for them imo.
Past world cup history says a different story, if England doesn't come to the ground with a strong mindset and a solid plan then the past history can be recalled.
If by any chance they get defeated by any top two teams then Pakistan, Bangladesh and Srilanka will get a chance to the last four - West Indies already confirmed their ticket back to home.

We will be seeing some good cricket from now on if rain doesn't act like a game spoiler.

PAK was always gonna win their game against SAF. The 2.38 odds on them are an example of an absolute algorithm failure.

Somehow Pakistan has won the match by 49 runs. To me South Africa is really a good team with potential batsmen and bowlers who are good enough to play at any match situation. But, somehow they loose every match and one or two match got abandoned.

In the previous World Cup too they're strong enough to defend any team but they got eliminated. This is all because of the bad luck which at present is found much over the Indian team. Let's wait and watch the points table as every team has played almost six matches out of nine.

So, you think they lost all the match "somehow"? I see ypu are not crediting the effort from team like Bangladesh and Pakistan have put on the match. Bangladesh and Pakistan both have performed 100 times better than SA. Other than a middle class bowling side, SA has nothing. Their batting is poor.

Yeah, I've never seen South African team performing so bad in my life. They've got to get rid of very senior players like Hashim Amla and focus (a lot) more on batting department. Moreover, even their best performer today was 40-year-old Imran Tahir. By the next world cup, South Africa will need to get a brand new team to play with, as by then, these players (including the unselected AB de Villiers) would retire.

This would be a compensation win for Pakistan. Pakistan has good batsmen as well as bowlers but they still has to devise a team. A couple of bowlers and a couple of batsmen won't make you win tournaments. Md Amir is a gem for Pakistan but with limited exposure and poor performance of the team, he won't be able to have a fame and name he deserves.

SA is playing for pride (as they are out of world cup) but Pakistan still have a outside chance in this world. They need to win all their matches and at same time increase their run rate too. After a long time we are seeing Pakistani batting clicking and everyone is making contribution. I am aiming 350 to be a safe and match winning score.

NO! NO! NO!!!! That last ball!!!!!

Feeling bad for Carlos Braithwaite; he was very close to winning this one for West Indies. Sad

New Zealand's captain, Williamson, has remained extremely lucky so far in this tournament. Against Bangalis, the miss of the run-out (in which the Bengali keeper was supposed to pull the stump out from the ground) was the turning point of the match. Against India, Kiwis got their match abandoned due to rain and succeeded in obtaining a point. Next, against South Africa, Williamson himself was caught behind the stumps at a very low score, but due to lack of appeal, he continued his game and won it for the team... and today, against West Indies, the Kiwis won by only 5 runs.
