Sarfraz and paceman stun South Africa: 2015 WC #29 (Auckland)

Sarfraz Ahmed smashed 49 as Pakistan upset the highly-fancied South Africans by 29 runs.

Pakistan were bowled out for 222, and South Africa were given a target of 232 in 47 overs under the Duckworth-Lewis system after rain twice halted the game.

South Africa were reduced quickly to 6-102 through hostile bowling by Rahat Ali and Wahab Riaz and folded for 202 after losing AB De Villiers (77).

Pakistan 222 (Misbah 56, Steyn 3-30) beat South Africa 202 (de Villiers 77, Rahat 3-40, Wahab 3-45, Irfan 3-52) by 29 runs (D/L method).
