NEW DELHI: South Africa's cricket team, led by captain Temba Bavuma, managed to secure a heart-stopping one-wicket victory over Pakistan in an electrifying World Cup encounter. Bavuma candidly admitted the role of luck in their triumph, stating, "I do think we could have shown a lot more of a clinical display in going about that run chase. I think we did have luck on our side. We did give them opportunities to get into the game."
South Africa, initially looking poised for a comfortable win at 206/4, had been tasked with chasing down a formidable target of 271. However, Aiden Markram's dismissal for a spectacular 91 added suspense to the match and gave Pakistan a glimmer of hope.
