Watch as Pakistan kept their Twenty20 World Cup hopes alive after they secured a 33-run victory over South Africa at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday.

South Africa is still on track to make it to the semi-finals but after a rain delay, their original target of 186 was changed to 142, which meant they needed to score 73 runs in five overs.

But the asking rate was too high, and they ended up with 108-9 at the end of an exciting game that had bad weather, good bowling, dropped catches, and more.

Pakistan can yet make the World Cup semi-finals if they win their final match against Bangladesh on Sunday and other outcomes go in their favor.

However, they must hope that India or South Africa lose their remaining games. India takes on Zimbabwe, while the Proteas take on the Netherlands.
