CHENNAI: When the World Cup fixtures came out, South Africa on a Chennai turner should have been marked by Pakistan as a likely 'win'. Things haven't quite gone to script since then and now the two teams are on two ends of the spectrum.
While South Africa are closing in on a semifinal berth with four wins in their kitty, Pakistan have to beat the Proteas at Chepauk on Friday to stay relevant for a semis berth going forward. And after the loss against Afghanistan on Monday, things have become doubly difficult. While Pakistan seem to be running out of ideas, South Africa are bubbling with options.
