00:00Welcome back to the county ground Northampton, South Africa against Pakistan in the WCL 2024.
00:18Kamran Akmal, Sharjeel, Suhaib Maqsood in great form, Suhaib Malik got 15 in the previous match.
00:25Yunus Khan coming back in the side after missing a couple of matches.
00:28Miss Baul Haq there, Shahid Afridi, I mean they did not leave anybody out.
00:32But looking at the South African champions playing 11, obviously complaining of a few injuries there.
00:38Got a couple of youngsters in, drafted in last moment.
00:42Daryl Irvi and Jax Nyman, that should help their cause.
00:47South African champions, just a quick reminder.
00:50South African champions won the toss, elected to bowl first.
00:58Kamran Akmal will be facing the usual shape away from the right hander.
01:06But in this case he finds the gap and finds the boundary.
01:09Very first delivery, Kamran Akmal on his way.
01:14Few more overs in before you get the length right, not on that occasion, that was full, too full.
01:20Sharjeel was looking for that length.
01:25Very high up in the bat.
01:29Trickles over the boundary.
01:31Didn't really time it.
01:33Something had to give.
01:35Does he have a shield as well?
01:37He's also got to watch out.
01:42Leading edge, an opportunity.
01:44And grabs.
01:46Easily taken.
01:48He's not a swinger, but he can seem the ball.
01:51And that ball just seemed away from him.
01:54Got a little big on him.
01:56And an easy catch, a short mid wicket.
01:59Comfortable catch.
02:01That's the first fled, Kamran Akmal was in great form, gone for 13, he's 17 for 1 now.
02:07That's a pick-up shot.
02:10Ease my trip maximum.
02:12He plays that shot so, so well.
02:15So if you bowl a little short, he'll pick you, like that.
02:19He had the time to swing his bat.
02:21Earlier we saw he miscoupled, purely because the ball was a little fuller.
02:26Half a yard is a lot if you're not bowling quick enough.
02:30Now this time, on the leg side.
02:33Now this time, on the leg side.
02:36A little bit fuller, easy picking for Shajil.
02:41Oh, oh, that sound.
02:44That sound.
02:46He was another one who will kiss the surface and he just comes off the surface very quickly.
02:51This one came off the bat very quickly.
02:55But these guys, they kiss the surface and let the seam do the job for them.
03:01There's a very little difference, but it works for both.
03:07That's 4.
03:09It's just that angle that was getting the ball much, much closer to Shajil
03:13and just the open face of the bat gets in the boundary.
03:16It's just that bounce and pace, the skittiness of the surface as well.
03:21Shajil was beaten with that sort of pace and bounce, but will take the boundary.
03:29Finds the gap between the keeper and the slip.
03:38That's one of those powerful, powerful shots.
03:43That's one of those powerfully struck, ease my trip 6 that you see from Shajil.
03:49What a shot this is. Beautiful hit.
03:55That'll be 4 as well.
03:57Once you beat the man standing at point.
04:0550, Shajil. He's been batting really well.
04:08He's been batting really well.
04:11Of 27 deliveries.
04:17Catch it was a goal, but probably to the spectator sitting in the stands.
04:22Another ease my trip 6.
04:26Fired in fast and flat and I'm afraid Maqsood is too good.
04:33It's just that angle that helped Shajil.
04:38And really powerfully struck by him. Another ease my trip 6.
04:42It's raining 6s here at Northamptonshire.
04:45A ground that is known for producing fine white ball pitches.
04:50And high scoring affairs and this is more of the same really.
04:55Beautiful clean hit.
05:02Goes straight back past the bowler and into the stands again.
05:06Another ease my trip 6.
05:08Nearly landed in a chicken biryani in the hospitality.
05:14What a hit down the ground. Flat bat.
05:19Out, Nick.
05:21Langerfeld back into the attack.
05:24After pitching he just moved away and feet didn't go nowhere.
05:28Maqsood who's been in great form had to leave the crease and go back to the dressing room.
05:3524 of 24.
05:371 or 2 for 2.
05:46Should have been taken.
05:48Should have been taken.
05:52Well he was out first ball if you remember against India.
05:55Right at the end that he just came in and just teed off.
06:02That's a go for 4.
06:05Wow that's two nice pieces of timing from Alfredi.
06:13Again wide.
06:15Oh, over the fielder.
06:17This is going to run away for 4.
06:19End of the 12.
06:21116 for 2.
06:25That is a big shot.
06:27That is such a big shot because it's not a big back lift.
06:30He just waits and waits.
06:32And it's his 6th.
06:34Ease my trip 6.
06:36Big forearms and he's got a very very strong wrist.
06:41It's just that last flick when the ball gets closer to him.
06:46And that's where the energy comes and that's why he hits so far.
06:53Good.
06:54Has he got enough of it? Has he?
06:56Not this time.
06:58Dane Villas.
07:00Safe pair of hands.
07:04The ball was a little too full to play that shot.
07:06That's why he couldn't really get the elevation.
07:10Hit it flat.
07:12Villas who dropped the catch earlier.
07:14This one no problem. Easy.
07:17Sajil who has batted magnificently.
07:2072 of 36 deliveries.
07:22This is 124 for 3 Pakistan.
07:27It's very very hard to actually come back and bowl the 2nd spell or the 3rd spell.
07:36Bowled.
07:37Pace up to Afridi.
07:39A little bit of a bottom edge.
07:43And Stane has a wicket.
07:45That's the shot he really likes to play.
07:48Loves to play. He's had lots of success on that particular shot.
07:52But Dale Stane knew.
07:54He knew that Afridi will be eyeing on the own side and cut the pace down.
08:01And getting that bottom edge onto the leg stump.
08:06Afridi gone for 20.
08:08Good strike rate of 200.
08:10135 for 4.
08:16That was nicely timed and placed by Shoaib Malik.
08:19And also a low ball. Free hit coming.
08:21Absolute crime.
08:26Hasn't timed it. Hasn't timed it.
08:28And what a catch there by Dan Villas.
08:33Not only you see him do that with gloves behind the stump.
08:36But what a great outfielder.
08:38Don't think he realized it's a free hit.
08:40There was no need to dive.
08:46Big hits every single delivery.
08:48All the delicate touches working for you as well.
08:57In the slot.
09:00Guts at 6.
09:04What a shot.
09:06Sumptuous.
09:09Just the way he danced down the surface.
09:12What's that?
09:14Perfect. Ease my trip. 6.
09:18Just slap that.
09:20Got on top of the bounce.
09:22I saw Shoaib Malik come down the surface.
09:24Was looking to alter the length.
09:26But Shoaib Malik was ready to the task.
09:28Take that boundary as well.
09:34Boom. Boom.
09:36On the batter. Abdur Razak.
09:38Finishes the over with the ease my trip. 6.
09:4019 from that over.
09:42179 for 4.
09:48Another boundary I think.
09:50Slower delivery.
09:52Big dirty.
09:54Smoked it through the onside.
09:59That's a lovely shot.
10:01Good timing for...
10:07Another poor delivery.
10:09Another boundary.
10:136.
10:15What a hit.
10:18Stand and deliver.
10:22Guts another ease my trip. 6.
10:24It was in the slot as well.
10:26But hold this posture.
10:28Right through the hitting zone.
10:32And that will be his 50.
10:34What an innings.
10:36And masterclass from Shoaib Malik.
10:38Strike rate of 200.
10:40Guts another ease my trip. 6.
10:42To complete his half century.
10:44Back to back 50s for Shoaib Malik.
10:50Bouncer.
10:52We'll have to wait.
10:54We'll have to wait.
10:56It seems it's ok.
10:58He got away with it.
11:00Tina Best wouldn't like this.
11:02I tell you what.
11:0420 overs.
11:06210 for 4.
11:12Let's talk about batting.
11:14Sergil 72 of 36.
11:16Shoaib Malik and Razak.
11:18That partnership of 75.
11:20But Shoaib Malik with 51 of just 26.
11:22Gave them that real push.
11:24To get to 210 for 4.
11:26That's how well.
11:28The batsmen have been able to go out there.
11:30And get the runs in quick time.
11:32Yeah.
11:343 bowlers going over 15.
11:36It's such a contrast.
11:38South Africa champions to win this game.
11:40Get 2 points on the points table.
11:42They need to get 211 runs.
11:44At 10.55.
11:48Slip in place.
11:50Need a little bit of urgency.
11:54Might be overthrows here.
11:56There is overthrows here.
11:58What a great start for South Africa.
12:00They are going to get a 5.
12:08Beautiful shot.
12:10That is really good.
12:14There we go.
12:16Caught one.
12:18Pulled the other.
12:20Expensive first over.
12:2214 from it.
12:2414 without loss.
12:26Clipped.
12:28Great shot.
12:36This one is hit back hard.
12:38Past the bowler.
12:44This will run away.
12:46This will be 4 leg buys.
12:48Just not quite getting his line or length right.
12:52Sahil Khan.
12:54In the air.
12:56This has got a long way up.
12:58Misbah is underneath it.
13:00Takes it.
13:02Really good catch.
13:04That is a really good catch from Misbah.
13:06Look how high this goes.
13:08Dumoune going across the leg side.
13:10Trying to flip it.
13:12Like he did last over.
13:14Look there.
13:16Long time swirling wind outside.
13:18It's raining.
13:20Misbah gathers cleanly.
13:22Good catch.
13:24Pakistan get that first.
13:26JP Dumoune.
13:28He is walking off very slowly for 9.
13:3027 for 1.
13:36It's a decent shot.
13:38Looks like he wants to get on top of the bounce.
13:40Like you say Nile.
13:42Quick hands.
13:46Little inside edge.
13:48And a boundary to finish the over.
13:5036 for 1.
13:52That's been quite good.
13:54People have been turning up in the ground.
13:56Full house India Pakistan.
13:58Couldn't have asked for more.
14:00Looks quite good.
14:06Big 6 over there.
14:10Look at that.
14:12A beautiful shot.
14:14Short of a length.
14:16Helped over mid on.
14:20What a shot.
14:22With consummate ease.
14:28Oh my god.
14:30What a punch that is.
14:32For an ease my trip.
14:346 baby.
14:38We see from Sniman.
14:40How much time he's got.
14:42Picture perfect.
14:44Hold that pose.
14:46All the cameramen taking a picture.
14:48Full task.
14:50Pumped down the ground.
14:52This is brilliant.
14:54What a great power play.
14:56South Africa champions.
14:58Finally the box can smile.
15:00And have a bit of a song in the ground.
15:0265 for 1.
15:06Miss dumping.
15:08Cameron Akmal.
15:10No turn.
15:12Batter stranded.
15:14Akmal misses it.
15:16It's a little bit ungainly.
15:18But he's picked the gap.
15:20He has.
15:22He's done just that.
15:24There was a little bit of lack of communication in the deep.
15:26Will you? Won't you?
15:28In the end neither did.
15:34That sounded very very nice.
15:36And it looked even better.
15:38It's an ease my trip.
15:406 up.
15:42Just looking to flight that ball.
15:44And probably ball it slightly more back of the length.
15:46Than the reach of Irby.
15:48Gets to it.
15:52Starts over the half track.
15:54And.
15:56A ease my trip maximum.
16:00What the way you said ease my trip maximum.
16:02Absolutely deep.
16:04Thought it was excellent.
16:06You delivered it beautifully.
16:08So did the batter.
16:10Well it's downtown.
16:12Another.
16:14Ease my trip 6.
16:16Back to back now.
16:182 from 2 then.
16:20Deep.
16:22It's just the kind of start they would have wanted.
16:24After the break.
16:26Oh make it.
16:283 out of 3.
16:30Back to back.
16:32Ease my trip 6.
16:34And he reaches his half century as well.
16:36Of just 28.
16:38Picked it off a little slowly.
16:40But then has picked it up.
16:42And has reached that milestone.
16:44Before Snyman.
16:46The best of the 3 so far.
16:52Goes aerial.
16:54Goes straight.
16:56And it's in the gap.
16:58Now he brings up.
17:00Oh no it's Irby.
17:02Slow one.
17:04Pulls it to the onside.
17:06What an amazing hitting.
17:10Oh slow one.
17:12Picked it up early.
17:14Went over extra cover.
17:16Another boundary.
17:183 back to back boundaries now in this over.
17:20Oh 2 straight.
17:22He's got punished.
17:24Another ease my trip maximum.
17:30He also spoke about.
17:32Improving their net run rate.
17:34That's what they're trying to do it seems.
17:36Get the game done now.
17:38You're only one down.
17:40Get it done as quickly as possible.
17:42Win it in 18.
17:44Oh nicely flighted.
17:46And finally.
17:48Gets that milestone.
17:50He's been waiting for it for a while.
17:5255 of 32.
17:54Snyman gets to his half century as well.
18:00Oh very average delivery.
18:02A half tracker on the pads.
18:04But does it really well.
18:06Snyman to play it as fine as he did.
18:08To get that boundary.
18:14Chipped up and over extra cover.
18:16Lovely hands from SJ Irby.
18:18Just inside out.
18:20Just lifting it over.
18:22Short extra cover.
18:26Oh now then.
18:28Was that a chance?
18:30It was airborne once again.
18:32Ajmal.
18:34Angling into leg stomp.
18:36And Irby trying to loft it over.
18:38Did he get a finger on it?
18:42Oh what a shot that is.
18:46That's a beautiful ease my trip.
18:48Six off a free hit.
18:50Moves into the 90s.
18:54How still he was.
18:56Use the pace.
18:58Open the blade and there we go.
19:02Goes leg side.
19:04Doesn't get all of it.
19:06Oh he's got to get a boundary though.
19:08He's got to get a boundary.
19:10I tell you what.
19:12And now he's pulled up short.
19:14Well hopefully.
19:16Hopefully it's not a serious injury.
19:18That ankle.
19:20Oh my word.
19:24Tickle tickle tickle.
19:26It gets passed.
19:28Boo Boo Mufridi.
19:30It's a 100 for SJ Irby.
19:32Here in Northampton.
19:34He has brought life to the South African champions.
19:36And given them a chance.
19:38Potentially getting a win here.
19:42Setting up a showdown tomorrow against India.
19:48There we go.
19:50We've just been waiting for so long.
19:52For this stroke from Snyman.
19:54He was very quiet in this partnership.
19:56After the first 5-6 overs.
19:58He's my trip 6 on Jacques Snyman.
20:02Just banged in.
20:04Just sat up and he just said hit me.
20:06And he did.
20:10Down the ground.
20:12That's going to be it for the South African champions.
20:14They have absolutely thumped Pakistan here.
20:16In Northampton.
20:18Jacques Snyman.
20:20And SJ Irby.
20:22SJ Irby have been brilliant.
20:24In a partnership worth 187.
20:26They have breathed life.
20:28Into the South African machine here.
20:30And the owners and their fan base.
20:32Are absolutely chuffed to bits.
20:36Well we'll talk about Jimmy Anderson tomorrow.
20:38When he'll be on the park.
20:40Hopefully.
20:42But this is a time.
20:44For South Africa legends.
20:46This is a magnificent.
20:48Partnership between these two.
20:50Cracking entertainment here.
20:52In the chase.
20:54JP Dumony went early.
20:56Then Jacques Snyman.
20:5882 not out.
21:00He's been playing cricket up in Lancashire.
21:02And SJ Irby.
21:04105 not out.
21:06From 57 balls.
21:08The first century of the tournament.
21:10Eclipsing Ian Bell's 97 earlier on.
21:12Here at this very venue.
21:14214 for one.
21:16Winning with 9 balls in the bank.
21:20Yeah bowling.
21:22Nothing to talk about.
21:24Afridi and Seyed Ajmal.
21:26They've been ok.
21:28But the problem was no wicket.
21:30There was only one wicket fell.
21:32Khan took it early in the game.
21:34But then it was all South African batters.
21:36Who put up such a big partnership.
21:38To defeat Pakistan.
21:40By 9 wickets.
21:44Well match 13.
21:46We knew South Africa had to come out firing.
21:48And they did.
21:50Pakistan champions.
21:52210 for four.
21:54Another half century show.
21:56Malik with 51.
21:58In the chase though.
22:00SJ Irby.
22:02105 red.
22:04And Jacques Snyman.
22:0682 not out.
22:08South African champions.
22:10Winning comfortably by 9 wickets.
22:18South Africa.
