Pakistan vs South Africa Warm UP Match
PAK vs SA Warm-Up: Pakistan beat South Africa by 7 wickets
Mar 09, 2007
Pakistan defeated top-ranked South Africa by seven wickets on a dicey Trinidad wicket at the Sir Frank Worrell Stadium.
Pakistans victory was overshadowed by the treacherous wicket prepared for the match as South Africa managed themselves a modest total of 199 in their final World Cup warm-up match. The pitch certainly seemed under-prepared as the Proteas were treated to some erratic bounce before they managed 199 after being put into bat. In reply, Pakistan seemed to have negotiated the devils in the pitch before they reached 200-3 in 44.3 overs.
Younis Khan top-scored with 79 for Pakistan while opener Mohammad Hafeez made 49. Mohammad Yousuf on 48 and Shoaib Malik on 16 remained unbeaten when Pakistan scored the winning runs.
Pre-Match Report: South Africa, who survived a serious scare from Ireland in their opening warm-up match on Monday, want to make the most of their outing against Pakistan on Friday in Trinidad to dress-up well for the group stage of the World Cup.
Ireland gave the top-ranked Proteas a scare at the Sir Frank Worrell ground on Monday, with South Africa being at 91-8 at one stage before they wriggled out of trouble to clinch a 36-run win. Coach Mickey Arthur said:"It was the best wake-up call we've had. Our batters thought they could just walk out there and take the game on against Ireland and it just didn't happen that way.
South Africa, will be injury-free against Pakistan tomorrow as Justin Kemp trained on Wednesday after hurting his toe during an earlier practice. Pakistan on the other hand have been boosted by the arrival of fast bowler Mohammad Sami who along with Yasir Arafat have been allowed as replacements by the ICC for the injured duo of Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif.
