Pakistan vs South Africa Highlights, World Cup 2023: South Africa grab fifth win to push Pakistan on brink of World Cup exit

South Africa defeated Pakistan by one wicket in a World Cup thriller on Friday to edge closer to the semi-finals.

Chasing 271 to win, South Africa reached their target with 16 balls to spare when tailender Keshav Maharaj hit a boundary off spinner Mohammad Nawaz.

South Africa now have five wins and one defeat from six games while Pakistan have lost four matches in succession after winning their first two but remain in semi-final contention.
