NEW DELHI: Pakistan on Thursday kept their hopes alive and remained in the race for the semi-final stage of the ongoing T20 World Cup in Australia after a victory against South Africa. But their fate still hangs in the balance and is dependent on other results going their way in the group.
With their second successive win, Pakistan jumped to third position in their group, with four points in the six-team Group 2, ahead of Bangladesh on NRR. Pakistan’s commanding 33-run win (DLS) against the Proteas took the semi-final race to the final round of matches, with four teams still vying for the two spots.
