London: Facing the backlash of their legion of fans after losing to India in their previous game, it was imperative for Pakistan to strike back. And that is what they did against South Africa at Lord's in a high-scoring game, that brought the smiles back on the faces of their supporters and also kept their hopes, however slender, alive of a berth in the semi-finals.
Riding on Haris Sohail's superb innings of 89 off just 59 balls, Pakistan ran up a total of 308-7, which the struggling South African team found too tough to overhaul and fell short by 49 runs.
