Shadab Khan initially shifted the tide of the match with his bat before replicating the feat with the ball to help Pakistan overcome South Africa on Thursday in Sydney. Pakistan reached 185/9 after to Shadab’s 22-ball 52 after a disastrous powerplay. After the game was halted due to inclement weather, he claimed two wickets in the ninth over. South Africa now had a revised target of 142 to reach in 14 overs. Pakistan has kept its place in the race for a semi-final spot, but the Proteas fell short.
